Where portage installed my files?

After emerging a program, portage describes where the new program/deps are located - but who writes them down? :wink:

Now Im searching for my "jdk" or any program so to speak, and I want to know if there is an <emerge> option that will show me where the files of certain program are ?

Thanks

HI,

primarly portage is installing progs into /usr/share/progname, but sometimes for example openoffice, java etc. are installed in /opt/progname ...

Thanks - I did find java in the opt as you said.

But isn't there any <flag> for emerge to show me this locations ?

There isn't really any flag...
It happens really seldom that program is put into /opt, generally just look into /usr/share/
Well, you can see where an ebuild is going to install from looking into the ebuild file for your desired program.
You can find this ebuild files in /usr/portage/...

F.Y.I. as for /opt vs /usr, Gentoo installs binary-only ebuilds in /opt
