[gentoo-user] How do I make sense of this: euse -i extrafilters

[William Kenworthy]

How do I make sense of this:
_____________________________________
rattus ~ # euse -i extrafilters
global use flags (searching: extrafilters)
************************************************************
no matching entries found

local use flags (searching: extrafilters)
************************************************************
[-    ] extrafilters (media-video/transcode):
Install some filters only if we ask for them
_____________________________________


Does this mean that extra filters will be available if I enable this use
flag (and what are they?), or does it mean it will only install some
filters and not others unless I specifically ask for them (and what are
they)?

Probably meaningful to the guy who wrote it, but ...

This is a case where you have to look at the ebuild:

        #do not install the filters that make dvdrip hang unless we ask for them
        if ! use extrafilters ; then
        rm ${D}/usr/$(get_libdir)/transcode/filter_logo.*
        rm ${D}/usr/$(get_libdir)/transcode/filter_compare.*
        fi

So you lose the logo and compare filters if you do not set extrafilters.
