# BBClient

BBClient provides command interface for bitbake server. 

The typical use case is as follows. You can do it via shell or python easily.  

* Get recipe variable value

* Get layer info

* Get image recipes

* Get all the packages

* Start a task of packages

For example, see below.  

*Please note that before using bbclient in shell, you have to initialize env by oe-init-build-env*.  

```bash

# Please note that before using bbclient in shell, you have to initialize env by oe-init-build-env.

$ source oe-init-build-env

$ bbclient find_best_provider gcc

[null, null, null, "/PATH/TO/POKY/meta/recipes-devtools/gcc/gcc_12.1.bb"]

```

You can do the same with python.  

```python

# get recipe file path for specified package

ret: List[str] = client.find_best_provider("gcc")

target_recipe_file_path: str = ret[3]

# parse the recipe file

data_store_index: int = client.parse_recipe_file(target_recipe_file_path)

# get variable in the recipe file

ret: Any = client.data_store_connector_cmd(data_store_index, "getVar", "PN")

```

## System Requirements

* python: 3.7 or later

* yocto: dunfell or kirkstone or main

Please note that this command(and also bitbake) doesn't support dunfell with python3.10.  

This is because `collections.Iterable` has not been removed, so dunfell with python3.10 will cause exception.

## Installation

```

pip3 install bbclient

```
