--mirror: Mirror distfiles for the selected repository.

OPTIONS

--dry-run: Perform a trial run with no changes made (typically combined with -v or -vv).

--distfiles=DIR: Distfiles directory to use (required).
-j JOBS, --jobs=JOBS: Number of concurrent jobs to run.
-l LOAD, --load-average=LOAD: Load average limit for spawning of new concurrent jobs.
--tries=TRIES: Maximum number of tries per file, 0 means unlimited (default is 10).
--repo=REPO: Name of repo to operate on.
--config-root=DIR: Location of portage config files.
--repositories-configuration=REPOSITORIES_CONFIGURATION: Override configuration of repositories. The argument of this option has the same format as repos.conf (see portage(5)).
--strict-manifests=<y|n>: Manually override "strict" FEATURES setting.
--failure-log=FILE: Log file for fetch failures, with tab-delimited output, for reporting purposes. Opened in append mode.
--success-log=FILE: Log file for fetch successes, with tab-delimited output, for reporting purposes. Opened in append mode.
--scheduled-deletion-log=FILE: Log file for scheduled deletions, with tab-delimited output, for reporting purposes. Overwritten with each run.
--delete: Enable deletion of unused distfiles.
--deletion-db=FILE: Database file used to track lifetime of files scheduled for delayed deletion.
--deletion-delay=SECONDS: Delay time for deletion of unused distfiles, measured in seconds.

--distfiles-db=FILE: Database file used to track which ebuilds a distfile belongs to.

--recycle-db=FILE: Database file used to track lifetime of files in recycle dir.
--recycle-deletion-delay=SECONDS: Delay time for deletion of unused files from recycle dir, measured in seconds (defaults to the equivalent of 60 days).
