I meant that I get a single hit for

$ git grep configurationFile src/libcamera/pipeline/virtual/
src/libcamera/pipeline/virtual/virtual.cpp:     File file(configurationFile("virtual", "virtual.yaml"));

so I don't get what the "configuratioFile" symbol means here. It
compiles, so I am missing something for sure.
