Subject: [PATCH v2] ref-manual: Describe grub-efi-cfg overrides and GRUB_TITLE
Date: Tue, 28 Jan 2025 08:53:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250128075328.20912-1-simon.eu@gmail.com> (raw)
This patch describes how to use overrides for grub-efi-cfg because that
is otherwise only clear after reading the .bbclass file. It also adds
a description for GRUB_TITLE.

+For example, for a label ``factory``, the override name would be
