OpenEmbedded Image Creator
==========================

The 'wic' command generates partitioned images from existing
OpenEmbedded build artifacts.  Image generation is driven by
partitioning commands contained in an 'Openembedded kickstart' (.wks)
file specified either directly on the command-line or as one of a
selection of canned .wks files (see 'wic list images').  When applied
to a given set of build artifacts, the result is an image or set of
images that can be directly written onto media and used on a
particular system.

'wic' is based loosely on the 'mic' (Meego Image Creator) framework,
but heavily modified to make direct use of OpenEmbedded build
artifacts instead of package installation and configuration, things
already incorporated int the OE artifacts.

The name 'wic' comes from 'oeic' with the 'oe' diphthong promoted to
the letter 'w', because 'oeic' is impossible to remember or pronounce.

This covers the mechanics of invoking and providing help for the
command and sub-commands; it contains hooks for future commits to
connect with the actual functionality, once implemented.

Help is integrated into the 'wic' command - see that for details on
usage.

Contributing
------------

Please refer to our contributor guide here: <https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev/contributor-guide/>
for full details on how to submit changes.

As a quick guide, patches should be sent to <yocto-patches@lists.yoctoproject.org>,
please include [wic] in the patch subject line, and please CC the
maintainer(s).

One possible git command to send the most recent commit could be:

```
git send-email --subject-prefix="wic][PATCH" -M -1 --to 'yocto-patches@lists.yoctoproject.org' --cc 'twoerner@gmail.com'
```

Questions, comments, etc
------------------------

The best place to send questions, comments, etc would be the yocto-patches
mailing list. Another good place would be the general yocto mailing list.
Also the #yocto or #oe channels of the project's IRC would work too.
