Scott Rifenbark ed0a240e16 documentation: Rename of poky-ref-manual folder to ref-manual.
Changing the folder that holds the YP Reference Manual to be
"ref-manual".  This will help with confustion over the manual's
intended purpose.

<p>
The <a class="ulink" href="source-directory" target="_self">Source Directory</a>
includes a copy of BitBake for ease of use.
The copy usually matches the current stable BitBake release from the BitBake project.
BitBake, a metadata interpreter, reads the Yocto Project metadata and runs the tasks
defined by that data.
Failures are usually from the metadata and not from BitBake itself.
Consequently, most users do not need to worry about BitBake.
</p>
<p>
When you run the <code class="filename">bitbake</code> command, the wrapper script in
<code class="filename">scripts/</code> is executed to run the main BitBake executable,
which resides in the <code class="filename">bitbake/bin/</code> directory.
Sourcing the <a class="link" href="structure-core-script.html" title="5.1.10. oe-init-build-env">oe-init-build-env</a>
script places the <code class="filename">scripts</code> and <code class="filename">bitbake/bin</code>
directories (in that order) into the shell's <code class="filename">PATH</code> environment
variable.
</p>
<p>
For more information on BitBake, see the BitBake documentation
inculded in the <code class="filename">bitbake/doc/manual</code> directory of the
<a class="link" href="../dev-manual/source-directory.html" target="_self">Source Directory</a>.
