<para>bbread is a command for displaying BitBake metadata. When run with no arguments, it has the core parse 'conf/bitbake.conf', as located in BBPATH, and displays that. If you supply a file on the commandline, such as a .bb, then it parses that afterwards, using the aforementioned configuration metadata.</para>
