commands

To dump the global environment and grep for a variable of interest (for example,
DISTRO_FEATURES), use the following command:
$ bitbake -e | grep -w DISTRO_FEATURES
Optionally, to locate the source directory for a specific package recipe such as BusyBox, use
the following command:
$ bitbake -e busybox | grep ^S=

You could also execute the following command to locate the working directory for a
package or image recipe:
$ bitbake -e | grep ^WORKDIR=

BitBake offers the devshell and devpyshell tasks to help developers. They are executed
with the following commands:
$ bitbake -c devshell
And:
$ bitbake -c devpyshell

1. To list all the tasks available for a given recipe, with descriptions, we execute the
   following:
   $ bitbake -c listtasks
2. If you need to recreate the error, you can force a build with the following:
   $ bitbake -f
3. Or you can ask BitBake to force-run only a specific task using the following
   command:
   $ bitbake -c compile -f
