I thought this would be a common usage and was able to find this *is* supported by reading the source (and discovering `wic help kickstart`). https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/scripts/lib/wic/help.py#n663 It would be great to document this in the "5.6.8 OpenEmbedded Kickstart (.wks) Reference"[1] section of the development manual and explicitly refer to the built in kickstart help (wic help kickstart) somewhere, such as the "5.6.3 Getting Help"[2] or "5.6.8 OpenEmbedded Kickstart (.wks) Reference"[1] 1. https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.0/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#openembedded-kickstart-wks-reference 2. https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.0/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#wic-getting-help 57529 1 eduard.bartosh 2016-01-05 13:13:04 +0000 Patch has been sent for review: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2016-January/027922.html 57615 2 eduard.bartosh 2016-01-07 11:20:19 +0000 The change is in the documentation now: http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#openembedded-kickstart-wks-reference 57716 3 bogdanx.a.voiculescu 2016-01-11 15:20:44 +0000 Verified on latest dev manual http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#command-part-or-partition
