ETC-UPDATE(1) Portage ETC-UPDATE(1)NAMEetc-update - handle configuration file updates
SYNOPSISetc-update [options] [--automode <mode>] [paths to scan]
DESCRIPTIONetc-update is supposed to be run after merging a new package to see if
there are updates to the configuration files. If a new configuration
file will override an old one, etc-update will prompt the user for a
decision.
etc-update will check all directories specified on the command line.
If no paths are given, then the CONFIG_PROTECT variable will be used.
All config files found in CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK will automatically be
updated for you by etc-update. See make.conf(5) for more information.
etc-update respects the normal PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT and EROOT variables
for finding the aforementioned config protect variables.
