Description Paul Eggleton 2016-02-21 20:46:12 UTC

One function that's missing from the "Accessing Datastore Variables Using Python" section of the BitBake manual is expand(). Please add the following entry, probably at the end:

d.expand(expression)   Expands variable references in the specified string expression
