Number one. Shorthand for "--oneshot". It emerges a package but doesn't add it to the world file. It's usually used when you want to re-emerge (for some reason) a package that is of no direct use for you but needs to be there because it is either a system package or a dependency (most libs go into this group) of a package that you have installed.
The bad thing about those getting into your world file is that, if for some reason, that package stops being a dependency of a package you installed, they won't be depcleaned by portage and will remain in your system forever even when you don't need them. Pollution in your world file also increment a bit the time portage needs to calculate dependencies when doing a world update. |

Thanks, I found --oneshot (-1) in the man page. |
