<title>bbread</title>
- <para>test</para>
+ <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>

+ <programlisting format="linespecific"><literal>usage: bbmake [options] [package ...]
+
+Executes the specified task (default is 'build') for a given set of BitBake files.
+It expects that BBFILES is defined, which is a space seperated list of files to
+be executed. BBFILES does support wildcards.
+Default packages to be executed are all packages in BBFILES.
+Default BBFILES are the .bb files in the current directory.
+
+options:
+ --version show program's version number and exit
+ -h, --help show this help message and exit
+ -k, --continue continue as much as possible after an error. While the
+ target that failed, and those that depend on it, cannot
+ be remade, the other dependencies of these targets can
+ be processed all the same.
+ -f, --force force run of specified cmd, regardless of stamp status
+ -cCMD, --cmd=CMD Specify task to execute
+ -rFILE, --read=FILE read the specified file before bitbake.conf
+ -v, --verbose output more chit-chat to the terminal
+ -n, --dry-run don't execute, just go through the motions
+ -p, --parse-only quit after parsing the BB files (developers only)
+ -d, --disable-psyco disable using the psyco just-in-time compiler (not
+ recommended)
+ -s, --show-versions show current and preferred versions of all packages</literal>
