dohard [ filename ] [ linkname ] -- performs -f link (hard link) (as dosym but hard link)


dohtml (from bin file)
# Typical usage:
# dohtml -r docs/*
#  - put all files and directories in docs into /usr/share/doc/${PF}/html
# dohtml foo.html
#  - put foo.html into /usr/share/doc/${PF}/html
#
#
# Detailed usage:
# dohtml <list-of-files>
#  - will install the files in the list of files (space-separated list) into
#    /usr/share/doc/${PF}/html, provided the file ends in .html, .png, .jpg
#     or .css
# dohtml -r <list-of-files-and-directories>
#  - will do as 'dohtml', but recurse into all directories, as long as the
#    directory name is not CVS
# dohtml -a png,gif,html,htm [-r] <list-of-files[-and-directories]>
#  - will do as 'dohtml' but filter on .png,.gif,.html,.htm (default filter
#    list is ignored
# dohtml -x CVS,SCCS,RCS -r <list-of-files-and-directories>
#  - will do as 'dohtml -r', but ignore directories named CVS, SCCS, RCS
#


dojar (from bin file)
# Typical usage:
#  dojar foo.jar bar.jar
#   - installs foo.jar and bar.jar into /usr/share/${PN}/lib, and adds them
#     both to /usr/share/${PN}/classpath.env
#
# Detailed usage
#  dojar <list-of-jars>
#   - installs <list-of-jars> into /usr/share/${PN}/lib and adds each to
#     /usr/share/${PN}/classpath.env.
#
# The classpath.env file is currently merely a convenience for the user as
# it allows him to:
# export CLASSPATH=${CLASSPATH}:`cat /usr/share/foo/classpath.env`
#
# For many packages that set FOO_HOME, placing the jar files into
# lib will allow the user to set FOO_HOME=/usr/share/foo and have the
# scripts work as expected.
#
# Possibly a jarinto will be needed in the future.


dopython [ commands ] -- execute python code, returns result (??)


dosed "s:orig:change:g" [ file ] -- does sed including mv and replace or file


dosym [ target ] [ linkname ] -- performs ln -snf $target ${D}/$linkname


fowners [ permissions ] [ files ] -- performs chown $permissions ${D}/$files


fperms [ permissions ] [ files ] -- as fowners, but performs chmod


emake, pmake 
This is used as a replacement for make.  performs make ${MAKEOPTS} (as set in /etc/make.globals), default is
-j2. **warning** if you are going to use emake/pmake, make sure your build is happy with parelell makes (make
-j2). It should be tested thoroughly as paralell makes are nutrious for failing _sometimes_ but not always.
