<glossentry id='var-FETCHCMD'><glossterm>FETCHCMD</glossterm>
<glossdef>
<para>
Defines the command the BitBake fetcher module
executes when running fetch operations.
You need to use an override suffix when you use the
variable (e.g. <filename>FETCHCMD_git</filename>
or <filename>FETCHCMD_svn</filename>).

<glossentry id='var-FILE'><glossterm>FILE</glossterm>
<glossdef>
<para>
Points at the current file.
BitBake sets this variable during the parsing process
to identify the file being parsed.
BitBake also sets this variable when a recipe is being
executed to identify the recipe file.

<glossentry id='var-FILESDIR'><glossterm>FILESDIR</glossterm>

<para>
Specifies directories BitBake uses when searching for
patches and files.
The "local" fetcher module uses these directories when
handling <filename>file://</filename> URLs if the file
was not found using
<link linkend='var-FILESPATH'><filename>FILESPATH</filename></link>.
<note>
The <filename>FILESDIR</filename> variable is
deprecated and you should use
<filename>FILESPATH</filename> in all new code.

<glossdef>
<para>
Allows you to suppress BitBake warnings caused when
building two separate recipes that provide the same
output.
</para>
<para>
Bitbake normally issues a warning when building two
different recipes where each provides the same output.
This scenario is usually something the user does not
want.
However, cases do exist where it makes sense, particularly
in the <filename>virtual/*</filename> namespace.
You can use this variable to suppress BitBake's warnings.
</para>
<para>
To use the variable, list provider names (e.g.
recipe names, <filename>virtual/kernel</filename>,
and so forth).
