Unfortunately, the parsedfile provider is mainly documented by code
that uses it. I've been meaning to write up a document on it, but I've
been unable to find the time. In the mean time, the OSUOSL has some
providers for gentoo that use the parsedfile provider, found at
https://github.com/ramereth/puppet-gentoo/blob/master/lib/puppet/provider/package_use/parsed.rb
that may give you a bit more insight. Sorry for the non-answer here,
but this might get you a bit further along.
