that is not PIC friendly power8 Enable support for Power 8 assembly optimizations. xine-lib bluray Enable playback of Blu-ray filesystems using media-libs/libbluray dxr3 Enable support for DXR3 mpeg acceleration cards. flac Build the media-libs/flac based FLAC demuxer and decoder. This flag is not needed for playing FLAC content, neither standalone nor in Ogg container (OggFLAC), but might have better support for exotic features like 24-bit samples or 96kHz sample rates. gtk Build the gdkpixbuf-based image decoder plugin. imagemagick Build the ImageMagick-based image decoder plugin. mad Build the media-libs/libmad based mp3 decoder. This mp3 decoder has superior support compared to the one coming from FFmpeg that is used as a fallback. If you experience any bad behaviour with mp3 files (skipping, distorted sound) make sure you enabled this USE flag. mmap Use mmap() function while reading file from local disks. Using mmap() will use more virtual memory space, but leaves to the Kernel the task of caching the file's data. mmap() access should be faster, but might misbehave if the device where the file resides in is removed during playback. truetype Use media-libs/freetype for font rendering and media-libs/fontconfig for font discovery. Enabling this USE flag will allow OSD (such as subtitles) to use more advanced font and to more easily select which font to use. The support for TrueType fonts in xine-lib is still experimental, and might not be as good looking as the bitmap fonts used with this USE flag disabled. vdr Build the VDR plugin vidix Enable support for vidix video output. vis Adds support for SIMD optimizations for UltraSPARC processors. vpx Enable VP8 codec support via media-libs/libvpx. xvmc Enable support for XVideo Motion Compensation (accelerated mpeg playback). xvid pic disable optimized assembly code that is not PIC friendly zita-resampler tools Install zresample and zretune tools media-plugins alsa-plugins arcam_av Enables Arcam AV control plugin mix Enables upmix and vdownmix plugin usb_stream Enables usb_stream plugin audacious-plugins ampache Support controlling audacious via www-apps/ampache bs2b Enable Bauer Bauer stereophonic-to-binaural headphone filter cue Support CUE sheets using the libcue library fluidsynth Support FluidSynth as MIDI synth backend gme Support various gaming console music formats http Support HTTP streams through neon qtmedia Enable playback via dev-qt/qtmultimedia scrobbler Build with scrobbler/LastFM submission support sid Build with SID (Commodore 64 Audio) support soxr Build with SoX Resampler support speedpitch Enable speed/pitch effects streamtuner Build the streamtuner plugin calf experimental Enable experimental features/plugins lv2 Add support for Ladspa V2 frei0r-plugins facedetect Enables building of facedetect plugin, which depends on media-libs/opencv scale0tilt Enables building of scale0tilt and vectorscope plugins, which depend on media-libs/gavl gkrellmpc threads Use separate thread to init connection (unsafe) grilo-plugins chromaprint Enable Chromaprint support daap Enable dmap support through net-libs/libdmapsharing flickr Enable Flickr support freebox Build support for viewing TV channels using Freebox gnome-online-accounts Enable net-libs/gnome-online-accounts support thetvdb Build support for thetvdb.com tracker Build support for content discovery using the app-misc/tracker indexer youtube Build support for YouTube content discovery using dev-libs/libgdata gst-plugins-gtk egl Enable EGL platform usage gles2 Enable gtkglsink OpenGL sink based on GLESv2 API opengl Enable gtkglsink OpenGL sink based on desktop OpenGL API gst-plugins-libav libav Use bundled ffmpeg to support systems using media-video/libav globally instead of media-video/ffmpeg gst-plugins-meta http Enable http streaming via net-libs/libsoup libvisual Enable visualization effects via media-libs/libvisual vpx Enables vp8 codec support using libvpx, required to play some HTML5 videos gst-plugins-vaapi drm Enable DRM renderer egl Enable EGL support gles2 Enable GLESv2 and GLESv3 support hexter gtk2 Enable x11-libs/gtk+:2 based GUI imlib2_loaders eet Enable Eet image loader xcf Enable XCF image loader ir_lv2 tools Build convert4chan tool mythplugins cdr Allows MythMusic to burn CD-Rs exif Allows MythGallery to read EXIF data from photos fftw Adds visual effects to MythMusic when playing back music hls HTTP Live Streaming support mytharchive Allows you to archive recorded content to CD or DVD mythbrowser Adds a web browser within MythTV mythgallery Adds a picture viewing gallery within MythTV mythgame Adds a frontend to various ROM emulators within MythTV mythmusic Adds the ability for MythTV to act as a music player mythnetvision Adds the ability to view netvision devices within MythTV mythnews Adds a news viewer within MythTV mythweather Adds weather information within MythTV mythzmserver Build mythzmserver daemon needed by zoneminder on LAN mythzoneminder Adds support for zoneminder (requires active mythzmserver daemon on LAN). raw Allows MythGallery to view photos saved in RAW format vdr-burn dvdarchive DMH DVD -

This flag should only be enabled if you're running a non-Linux kernel or you don't want to use sys-fs/udev. policykit Uses sys-auth/polkit to restrict access to smartcard readers or smartcars to given users. udev Use sys-fs/udev rules to handle devices' permissions and hotplug support. Unless you know what you're doing do not disable this flag on Linux kernels. This is provided as an option for completeness. pcsc-tools network-cron Monthly cronjob the update-smartcard_list script policycoreutils audit Enable support for sys-process/audit and use the audit_* functions (like audit_getuid instead of getuid()) portage apidoc Build html API documentation with sphinx-apidoc. gentoo-dev Enable features required for Gentoo ebuild development. ipc Use inter-process communication between portage and running ebuilds. native-extensions Compiles native "C" extensions (speedups, instead of using python backup code). Currently includes libc-locales. This should only be temporarily disabled for some bootstrapping operations. Cross-compilation is not supported. rsync-verify Enable full-tree cryptographic verification of Gentoo repository rsync checkouts using app-portage/gemato. xattr Preserve extended attributes (filesystem-stored metadata) when installing files. Usually only required for hardened systems. proot care Build dynamic CARE binary (more info - https://proot-me.github.io) qingy consolekit Enable native consolekit support opensslcrypt Encrypt communications between qingy and its GUI using dev-libs/openssl razercfg pm-utils Installs the pm-utils hooks for suspend/resume and requires sys-power/pm-utils ripgrep man Build and install man pages. rng-tools jitterentropy Enable Jitter RNG entropy support nistbeacon Enable NIST beacon entropy support pkcs11 Enable PKCS11 entropy support rtl-entropy bladerf Build with Nuand BladeRF support s390-tools cryptsetup build the zkey-cryptsetup utility (requires USE=openssl) fuse build cmsfs-fuse to read files stored on a z/VM CMS disk ncurses build hyptop monitoring program openssl build the zkey utility pfm build the cpacfstats tool zlib build the zgetdump and dump2tar utilities s6-linux-init sysv-utils Install sysvinit compatibility symlinks for telinit, halt, poweroff, reboot, and shutdown shadow bcrypt build the bcrypt password encryption algorithm su build the su program smartmontools caps Build against sys-libs/libcap-ng to allow smartd to drop its privileges. daemon Install the monitoring daemon (smartd) and associated scripts. update_drivedb Install a script to update the drivedb file. smc-sum module Install Supermicro's kernel module. superdiag iso Install an iso image, which can be used with sys-apps/smc-sum. usb Install all files, which are needed for an installation on an usb thumb drive. superiotool pci Support for PCI-attached "Super I/Os" (e.g. in VIA VT82686A/B). systemd apparmor Enable AppArmor support audit Enable support for sys-process/audit cgroup-hybrid Default to hybrid (legacy) cgroup hierarchy instead of unified (modern). cryptsetup Enable cryptsetup tools (includes unit generator for crypttab) curl Enable support for uploading journals dns-over-tls Enable DNS-over-TLS support elfutils Enable coredump stacktraces in the journal gcrypt Enable sealing of journal files using gcrypt gnuefi Enable EFI boot manager and stub loader (built using sys-boot/gnu-efi) homed Enable portable home directories http Enable embedded HTTP server in journald hwdb Enable support for the hardware database importd Enable import daemon kmod Enable kernel module loading via sys-apps/kmod lz4 Enable lz4 compression for the journal nat Enable support for network address translation in networkd pkcs11 Enable PKCS#11 support for cryptsetup and homed pwquality Enable password quality checking in homed qrcode Enable qrcode output support in journal repart Enable support for growing/adding partitions resolvconf Install resolvconf symlink for systemd-resolve sysv-utils Install sysvinit compatibility symlinks and manpages for init, telinit, halt, poweroff, reboot, runlevel, and shutdown vanilla Disable Gentoo-specific behavior and compatibility quirks xkb Depend on x11-libs/libxkbcommon to allow logind to control the X11 keymap tcp-wrappers netgroups Support matching NIS (host) netgroup names via the @netgroup syntax (if you don't know what this means, you most likely do not need it) texinfo standalone Build standalone version that survives all Portage bugs timer_entropyd debug Enable printf debugging and logging to the syslog at DEBUG level ucspi-ssl bindist Disable EC/RC5 algorithms in OpenSSL for patent reasons. usb_modeswitch jimtcl Use dev-lang/jimtcl instead of dev-lang/tcl for smaller memory footprint usermode-utilities fuse Build tools (currently umlmount) needing fuse util-linux audit Use sys-process/audit to emit audit messages about system changes caps build setpriv helper (run programs with diff capabilities) cramfs build mkfs/fsck helpers for cramfs filesystems cryptsetup Use sys-fs/cryptsetup to have built-in dm-verity in libmount fdformat build fdformat (floppy disk format) hardlink build hardlink program kill build the kill program logger build the logger program pam build runuser helper su build the su program suid install mount/umount as setuid so non-root users may mount/umount devices, and wall/write as setgid so non-root users can notify other users tty-helpers install the mesg/wall/write tools for talking to local users watchdog nfs enable support for checking nfs mounts xdg-desktop-portal screencast Enable screencast portal using media-video/pipewire xinetd rpc support RPC services sys-auth consolekit cgroups Use the kernel to track processes instead of the session cookie. evdev For handling VT switching with a session controller. pm-utils Adds support for suspend/resume using sys-power/pm-utils policykit Use the PolicyKit framework (sys-auth/polkit) to get authorization for suspend/shutdown. systemd-units Install systemd unit files to replace the modern functionality of logind in sys-apps/systemd. Not recommended. fingerprint-gui upekbsapi Add UPEK BSAPI drivers for identify functions on some readers google-authenticator-libpam-hardened qrcode Display QRcode after setup to accomodate automatic setup of OTP client apps. keystone memcached Installs dependencies needed for using memcached as a backend mongo Installs dependencies needed for using mongo as a backend munge gcrypt Use libgcrypt instead of openssl nss-pam-ldapd pynslcd Install the python implementation along with the standard implementation utils Install the command-line utilities oath-toolkit pam Build PAM module for pluggable login authentication for OATH pskc Build tools & library for the Portable Symmetric Key Container (PSKC) format per RFC6030 pam_mktemp prevent-removal If supported, set EXT2_APPEND_FL on /tmp/.private to prevent temporary directories from being removed pam_mysql openssl Use OpenSSL for md5 and sha1 support pam_u2f debug Enable debug messages using the pam logging macros. pambase consolekit Enable pam_ck_connector module on local system logins. This allows for console logins to make use of ConsoleKit authorization. cracklib Enable pam_cracklib module on system authentication stack. This produces warnings when changing password to something easily crackable. It requires the same USE flag to be enabled on sys-libs/pam or system login might be impossible. debug Enable debug information logging on syslog(3) for all the modules supporting this in the system authentication and system login stacks. elogind Use pam_elogind module to register user sessions with elogind. minimal Disables the standard PAM modules that provide extra information to users on login; this includes pam_tally (and pam_tally2 for Linux PAM 1.1 and later), pam_lastlog, pam_motd and other similar modules. This might not be a good idea on a multi-user system but could reduce slightly the overhead on single-user non-networked systems. mktemp Enable pam_mktemp module on system auth stack for session handling. This module creates a private temporary directory for the user, and sets TMP and TMPDIR accordingly. nullok Enable the nullok option with the pam_unix module. This allows people to login with blank passwords. pam_krb5 Enable pam_krb5 module on system auth stack, as an alternative to pam_unix. If Kerberos authentication succeed, only pam_unix will be ignore, and all the other modules will proceed as usual, including Gnome Keyring and other session modules. It requires sys-libs/pam as PAM implementation. pam_ssh Enable pam_ssh module on system auth stack for authentication and session handling. This module will accept as password the passphrase of a private SSH key (one of ~/.ssh/id_rsa, ~/.ssh/id_dsa or ~/.ssh/identity), and will spawn an ssh-agent instance to cache the open key. passwdqc Enable pam_passwdqc module on system auth stack for password quality validation. This is an alternative to pam_cracklib producing warnings, rejecting or providing example passwords when changing your system password. It is used by default by OpenWall GNU/*/Linux and by FreeBSD. securetty Enable pam_securetty module in the login stack. Not generally relevant anymore as the login stack only refers to local logins and local terminals imply secure access in the first place. sha512 Switch Linux-PAM's pam_unix module to use sha512 for passwords hashes rather than MD5. This option requires sys-libs/pam version 1.0.1 built against sys-libs/glibc version 2.7, if it's built against an earlier version, it will silently be ignored, and MD5 hashes will be used. All the passwords changed after this USE flag is enabled will be saved to the shadow file hashed using SHA512 function. The password previously saved will be left untouched. Please note that while SHA512-hashed passwords will still be recognised if the USE flag is removed, the shadow file will not be compatible with systems using an earlier glibc version. systemd Use pam_systemd module to register user sessions in the systemd control group hierarchy. passwdqc utils Install pwqcheck and pwqgen helper utilities polkit consolekit Use sys-auth/consolekit for session tracking elogind Use sys-auth/elogind for session tracking systemd Use sys-apps/systemd for session tracking ssh-ldap-pubkey schema Install a copy of the LPK schema, only needed on LDAP servers. sssd acl Build and use the cifsidmap plugin autofs Build helper to let net-fs/autofs use sssd provided information locator Install sssd's Kerberos plugin manpages Build man pages with dev-libs/libxslt netlink Add support for netlink protocol via dev-libs/libnl nfsv4 Add support for the nfsv4 idmapd plugin provided by net-libs/libnfsidmap ssh Build helper to let net-misc/openssh use sssd provided information sudo Build helper to let app-admin/sudo use sssd provided information ykpers consolekit Use sys-auth/consolekit and virtual/udev to allow access to the YubiKey HID device to the console user. sys-block f3 extra Build the additional f3probe, f3brew and f3fix utility (requires sys-block/parted and virtual/udev) fio aio Enable AIO ioengine curl Enable HTTP engine for S3 and WebDav support support via net-misc/curl glusterfs Enable GlusterFS gfapi support via sys-cluster/glusterfs gnuplot Install tools for generating gnuplots numa Enable numa support rbd Enable Rados block device support via sys-cluster/ceph rdma Enable infiniband support via sys-fabric/librdmacm tcmalloc Link against dev-util/google-perftools by default which will speed up USE=rbd up to 20% gparted btrfs Include Btrfs support (sys-fs/btrfs-progs) cryptsetup Include LUKS volume support (sys-fs/cryptsetup) dmraid Support for dmraid devices, also known as ATA-RAID, or Fake RAID. f2fs Include F2FS support (sys-fs/f2fs-tools) fat Include FAT16/FAT32 support (sys-fs/dosfstools) hfs Include HFS support (sys-fs/hfsutils) jfs Include JFS support (sys-fs/jfsutils) mdadm Support for Linux software RAID. ntfs Include NTFS support (sys-fs/ntfs3g) reiser4 Include ReiserFS4 support (sys-fs/reiser4progs) reiserfs Include ReiserFS support (sys-fs/reiserfsprogs) udf Include UDF support (sys-fs/udftools) wayland Enable interim workaround to allow running GParted under Wayland by granting permission to the X11 display using x11-apps/xhost. xfs Include XFS support (sys-fs/xfsprogs, sys-fs/xfsdump) nbd netlink Add support for netlink protocol via dev-libs/libnl open-iscsi rdma Support iSCSI over RDMA tcp Support iSCSI over TCP parted debug Enable debugging as encouraged by upstream: [The default configuration] includes --enable-debug (by default), which contains many assertions. Obviously, these "waste" space, but in the past, they have caught potentially dangerous bugs before they would have done damage, so we think it's worth it. Also, it means we get more bug reports ;) device-mapper Enable device-mapper support from sys-fs/lvm2 in parted partimage nologin Do not include login support when connecting partimaged perccli efi Install EFI variant as well sas2ircu efi Install EFI variant as well sas3flash efi Install EFI variant as well sas3ircu efi Install EFI variant as well tgt fcoe Add support for FCoE protocol fcp Add support for new FC protocol ibmvio Add support for IBM Virtual I/O rbd Add support for ceph block devices sys-boot grub device-mapper Enable support for device-mapper from sys-fs/lvm2 efiemu Build and install the efiemu runtimes fonts Build and install fonts for the gfxterm module libzfs Enable support for sys-fs/zfs mount Build and install the grub-mount utility themes Build and install GRUB themes (starfield) truetype Build and install grub-mkfont conversion utility lilo device-mapper Enable support for device-mapper from sys-fs/lvm2 minimal Do not install the dolilo helper script pxeserial Avoid character echo on PXE serial console netboot bootrom Install the bootrom binary for creation of rom files, which can be used for booting via floppy or rom. plymouth gdm Enables smooth transition to GDM libkms Provides abstraction to the DRM drivers (intel, nouveau and vmwgfx at this moment) pango Adds support for printing text on splash screen and text prompts, e.g. for password split-usr Enable this if /bin and /usr/bin are separate directories refind btrfs Builds the EFI binary btrfs filesystem driver ext2 Builds the EFI binary ext2 filesystem driver ext4 Builds the EFI binary ext4 filesystem driver gnuefi Compile using GNU-EFI instead of Tianocore hfs Builds the EFI binary hfs filesystem driver iso9660 Builds the EFI binary iso9660 filesystem driver ntfs Builds the EFI binary ntfs filesystem driver reiserfs Builds the EFI binary reiserfs filesystem driver silo tilo-only Install only the tilo netboot tool vboot-utils libzip Use dev-libs/libzip. woeusb minimal Install only woeusb tool sys-cluster ceph babeltrace Add support for LTTng babeltrace cephfs Build support for cephfs, a POSIX compatible filesystem built on top of ceph diskprediction Enable local diskprediction module to predict disk failures dpdk Enable DPDK messaging fuse Build fuse client grafana Install grafana dashboards kafka Rados Gateway's pubsub support for Kafka push endpoint lttng Add support for LTTng mgr Build the ceph-mgr daemon nss Use dev-libs/nss for cryptography numa Use sys-process/numactl for numa support in rocksdb openssl Use dev-libs/openssl pmdk Enable PMDK libraries rabbitmq Use rabbitmq-c to build rgw amqp push endpoint radosgw Add radosgw support rbd-rwl Enable librbd persistent write back cache spdk Enable SPDK user-mode storage driver toolkit system-boost Use system dev-libs/boost instead of the bundled one uring Build with support for sys-libs/liburing xfs Add xfs support zfs Add zfs support charliecloud ch-grow Build the internal builder ch-grow pv Use sys-apps/pv to enable progress bar functionality squashfs Use sys-fs/squashfs-tools for creating SquashFS images squashfuse Use sys-fs/squashfuse for the SquashFS workflow charm ampi Build implementation of MPI on top of Charm++ charmdebug Enable the charm debugger charmproduction Optimize performance of Charm++ runtime charmtracing Enable tracing support in Charm++ cmkopt Enable CMK optimisation mlogft Compile with Charm++ message logging fault tolerance support numa Support memory affinity with NUMA syncft Compile with Charm++ fault tolerance support tcp Use TCP (instead of UPD) for socket communication cinder api Installs the initscripts for the cinder api service iscsi Allow using an iSCSI remote storage server as pool for disk image storage lvm Allow using the Logical Volume Manager (sys-fs/lvm2) as pool for disk image storage memcached Installs the memcached server rdma Enable rdma storage backend support scheduler Installs the initscripts for the cinder scheduler service tcp Enables tcp support for the iscsi backend tgt Enable tgt storage backend support volume Installs the initscripts for the cinder volume service cluster-glue ipmilan Install the ipmilan plugin (requires sys-libs/openipmi) libnet Force use of net-libs/libnet drbd-utils heartbeat Enable Heartbeat integration pacemaker Enable Pacemaker integration xen Enable Xen integration galera garbd Install Galera Arbitrator - a stateless daemon which acts as a lightweight group member glusterfs bd-xlator Enable the blockdevice translator (requires sys-fs/lvm2) crypt-xlator Enable the encryption translator fuse Add FUSE mount helper georeplication Enable support for georeplication (requires dev-lang/python) glupy Enable support for translators written in Python infiniband Add support for Infiniband ibverbs transport.
