From d440c88af7da3641f88bd7f89ef3e2f25992f477 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Robert P. J. Day" Date: Tue, 19 May 2026 11:08:03 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] overview-manual: inform the reader early of "bitbake-getvar" Given how Chapter 4 of the Overview Manual introduces so many of the variables that define a build, briefly introduce the reader to the "bitbake-getvar" command so they can examine those variables.
