perusing bitbake user manual and in section 2.1.18, "Task Flags",
there's mention of "fakeroot". that's not really a task flag, is it?
i thought that that's (now?) a keyword that's used to define a task
with that property.
is that line in the user manual incorrect?

My understanding is this is a key word that gets turned into a task flag.

ok, that makes sense. that's just not clear from that section in
the bitbake manual. are there any other special cases like that?

I believe that both "fakeroot" and "python" are the two only two inline "task
flags".

i'm reading bitbake's "build.py", and that looks right. only one
other observation -- i see another what looks like a task flag,
"lockfiles", that's not mentioned in the bitbake user manual. is that
actually a task flag? should it be mentioned in that section?
i think that's all of my whining about task flags.

It is a task flag. It's a lockfile that is used on a task-level basis. If the
lock is held, then the task will wait until the lock clears.
