'rfcutil' seems to do the job ...

* app-text/rfcutil
  Available versions:  3.2.3
  Homepage: http://www.dewn.com/rfc/
  Description: return all related RFCs based upon a number or a search string

A simple 'eix rfc' was all to reveal that ;-)

I used rfcutil, which isn't a rfc viwer. And it's just a tool which can
be used to fetch rfc conveniently.

Sorry about that :-/

I didn't know that 'rfc -l #' is beyond your needs ...

My apologies

As you said, rfc -l # works. But it just invokes the viewer, which is
w3m in my station, to open it. You know that viewer isn't designed
specially to view rfc file, so the format isn't good to view.

Currently, I have fond a rfc viewer whose name is qRFCView. qRFCView
isn't in portage, so I wrote an ebuild for it. It can be downloaded from
the following url:

Well, it looks like rfcview is the only thing in the portage tree (found
via 'emerge -S rfc'):

*  app-emacs/rfcview [ Masked ]
      Latest version available: 0.5
      Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]
      Size of files: 5 kB
      Homepage:      http://www.neilvandyke.org/rfcview/
      Description:   rfcview.el is a small Emacs add-on that reformats
IETF RFCs for display
      License:       GPL-2

Masked by ~amd64 keyword, by the way, in case you were wondering.

Oh, and http://packages.gentoo.org/ seems to be a good place for quick
searches (emerge -S <keyword> takes forever).

Yeah, I forgot about that. Eix still isn't in my consciousness when I
want to do searches etc. Thanks for the reminder :).
