Gentoo allows users to select specific features and optional modules when they install a package. This is done by so-called USE flags that may be defined either globally in /etc/portage/make.conf or per package in /etc/portage/package.use. If you run emerge with --verbose (-v) and either --pretend (-p) or --ask (-a) it will list the possible USE flags and indicate whether or not they are selected. In general the USE flag name should be indicative enough of its purpose.
