\fBemerge\fR is the definitive command\-line interface to the Portage
system. It is primarily used for installing packages, and \fBemerge\fR
encompasses both the \fBselected\fR and \fBsystem\fR sets. [See
\fBFILES\fR below for more information.] Other sets can exist depending
on the current configuration. The default set configuration is located
-in the \fB/usr/share/portage/config/sets\fR directory. Note that a \fIset\fR

+User sets may be created by placing files in the \fB/etc/portage/sets/\fR
+directory (see \fBportage\fR(5)). Note that a \fIset\fR
is generally used in conjunction with \fB\-\-update\fR. When used as
arguments to \fBemerge\fR sets have to be prefixed with \fB@\fR to be
recognized. Use the \fB\-\-list\-sets\fR action to display a list of

+resumed command are used instead.
Please note that this operation will only return an error on failure. If there
is nothing for portage to do, then portage will exit with a message and a
success condition. A resume list will persist until it has been completed in
entirety or until another aborted merge list replaces it. The resume history
is capable of storing two merge lists. After one resume list completes, it is
possible to invoke \-\-resume once again in order to resume an older list.
