Subject: [PATCH] command: Add getSetVariable command
Date: Sun, 11 Oct 2015 10:11:47 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1444554707.14364.13.camel@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)

There are some use cases where we want to read a variable but also
set the variable to the value read, effectively locking in any
expansion of it. This adds such a command.
