BUGID#_1083 - documentation/poky-ref-manual/usingpoky.xml: -k option added
In the section 2.1.1 BitBake I added a paragraph at the end of the discussion about BitBake explaining the benefits of the '-k' and '--continue' options. (From yocto-docs rev: 409e01cedbe8d93c29856fa2a49d5f9db91f5201) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>

77 A useful BitBake option to consider is the <filename>-k</filename> or
78 <filename>&dash;&dash;continue</filename> option.
79 This option instructs BitBake to try and continue processing the job as much
80 as possible even after encountering an error. When an error occurs the target that
81 failed and those that depend on it cannot be remade. However, when you use this
82 option other dependencies can still be processed.
