I also wondered quite a while in the past why such questions are not covered
by the Mega Manual.

https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.5.1/mega-manual/mega-manual.html

Once I had been told that the mega manual contains "everything". As matter of
fact that is not true. Basic syntax for bitbake (recipes and conf files) is
documented only in a separate Bitbake User Manual.
