EBUILD viewer did not handle your file? Take advantage of other options The first is to download the software that supports EBUILD files Below are some examples of verified applications.

You haven't seen the content of your EBUILD file yet and you don't need additional software? Try other options. A lot of file formats contain plain text data or packed data.

To get information about what kind of data it is, go to the subpage with information about the EBUILD file extension.
