For installed packages, these two should work:

equery f <package name>

qlist <package name>

Not installed, not sure how to do that.  You might could look it up on
this site:

http://www.portagefilelist.de/site/query/listPackageFiles

Depending on USE flags and such, that could vary a bit I guess.

Hope that helps.

not possible. How can anybody know beforehand? with useflags and all?
maybe somebody listed it somewhere. If you are lucky.

At least, "equery uses <package>" *does* work with uninstalled packages.
(However, "equery files <package>" does not.)

You've answered a different question to that asked.

"equery uses" lists the USE flags of an ebuild and that info is in the
ebuild".

"equery files" lists the file installed after the ebuild is merged. that
info is not in the ebuild.

These two things are very different.

because you just need to look at the useflags and ?DEPEND to figure that out.

There's no way to know the files for a non-installed package. Ebuilds are
NOT packages. The files are generated at build time, and vary dependind on
the package, version, config options, arch, deps, and a large etc,
including missalignment of the planets and othes essoteric variables.
