 .SH "COMMANDS"
+By default, portage will execute all the functions in order up to the
+one actually specified.  For example, simply issuing the command \fBcompile\fR
+will trigger the functions before it to also be run (such as \fBsetup\fR
+and \fBunpack\fR).  If you wish to only have the specified command run, then
+you should use the \fInoauto\fR option in the \fBFEATURES\fR environment
+variable.  See the \fBmake.conf\fR(5) man page for more information.
