Gentoolkit is a collection of tools used by Gentoo Linux to administer and develop the Portage package management system. The tools are managed and installed by Portage itself; on a Funtoo Linux system one can install gentoolkit by issuing the following command:

root # emerge gentoolkit

The tools are split into two related packages: gentoolkit and gentoolkit-dev. As with the rest of Portage they are written in Python.

Gentoolkit provides:

eclean
enalyze
equery
eread
euse
glsa-check
revdep-rebuild

equery

Equery is a tool that displays information about the installed packages on the system. equery is based on a system of modules, , running it with out arguments displays a list of options

root # equery

equery b

Running equery with the b flag is useful to determine which package a file comes from.

root # equery b /usr/lib/libpam.so
 * Searching for /usr/lib/libpam.so ... 
sys-libs/pam-1.1.8-r2 (/usr/lib64/libpam.so)

equery f

Running equery with the f flag is useful to show all installed files from a package.

root # equery f domination
 * Searching for domination ...
 * Contents of games-board/domination-1.1.1.5:
/usr
/usr/games
/usr/games/bin
/usr/games/bin/domination
...

glsa-check

Glsa-check shows what potential vulnerabilities your system has.

root # glsa-check -l
[A] means this GLSA was marked as applied (injected),
[U] means the system is not affected and
[N] indicates that the system might be affected.

gentoolkit-dev

This package contains Portage development tools.

eviewcvs - Generates ViewCVS URLs.
gensync - Synchronize local Portage tree against an arbitrary upstream repository.
ekeyword - Change/update keywords in a set of ebuilds.
ebump - Bump the revision number of an ebuild and all support files.
echangelog - Automatically create ebuild changelog entries.

-A hostname is a unique name created to identify a machine on a network. In computer networking, a hostname  is a label that is assigned to a device connected to a computer network and that is used to identify the device in various forms of electronic communication such as the World Wide Web, e-mail or Usenet. Hostnames may be simple names consisting of a single word or phrase, or they may be structured.

-In Funtoo Linux, <code>/etc/conf.d/hostname</code> is the master configuration file for setting a hostname. In OpenRC framework <code>/etc/conf.d/foo</code> is the configuration file for a corresponding Init script <code>/etc/init.d/foo</code>.  With the case of hostname, default value is set to ''localhost'', means when system boots and OpenRC's <code>/etc/init.d/hostname</code> script started a hostname getting only ''localhost'' name.  How it looks?  In your shell promt this will look in following way, an example for root:

-Notice, that we seeing a shortened hostname here, and not a FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name). Don't be frustrated , this is  how  default bash promt PS1 set. To get nice promts, please, consult http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-tip-prompt/ <-- this one should be on Funtoo wiki :)
