+These variables can be prepended to either by setting the variable in your environment prior to execution, by placing an entry in /etc/make.conf, or by placing a file in /etc/revdep\-rebuild containing the appropriate variables.
+
+The variables are read and set in the following order:
+
+environment settings \- one time changes by user
+.br
+/etc/make.conf \- persistant changes by user
+.br
+/etc/revdep\-rebuild/* \- persistant changes by ebuild authors
+
+While a user can edit and modify the files in the /etc/revdep\-rebuild directory, please be aware that the /etc/revdep\-rebuild directory is not under configuration protection and files can be removed and/or overwritten by an ebuild. To change this add /etc/revdep\-rebuild to the CONFIG_PROTECT variable in /etc/make.conf.
An entry of "\-*" means to clear the variable from that point forward.
Example: SEARCH_DIRS="/usr/bin \-*" will set SEARCH_DIRS to contain only /usr/bin
