A while back some posted a way to avoid doing:
equery list|grep package to get info like version or whatever.
It involved limiting what list returned by some method before it gets
to grep.
Anyone remember or know what it is.

`equery list package` does the same thing

You can do "equery list <package name>" to get a list of installed
packages matching that name - it includes version number, category, and
slot info as well. "equery size <package name>" tells you how many files
are in the package and how much disk space they take up.

Ahh, knew it was something sort of obvious but couldn't get it right.
