If you literally want a list of everything that was installed by a
Gentoo ebuild, then the simplest thing is to run qlist from
app-portage/portage-utils.
Of course, the list of what a package /could/ install can vary based
on USE flags or environment.
If you're trying to learn how ebuilds work, devmanual.gentoo.org is
the definitive resource. If you have specific questions feel free to
ask, but just about anything you want to know is there. By all means
try reading a few ebuilds to get a hang for things as well, but I'd
start with simple ones (avoid trying to learn by looking at packages
that use complex eclasses). The simplest ebuilds tend to be for
simple, standalone programs.
Keep in mind that ebuilds work by extending functions defined by PMS,
so an ebuild can contain fairly little content and yet be fairly
functional (the default functions are running for most of the build
phases). The idea is if all a package does is run configure ; make ;
make install it often needs almost nothing in the ebuild to work.
