bb contents dumps the contents of built packages, that's not at all what
you want. If you want to look at what packages are available before you've
done a build, you need something that uses the PACKAGES and
PACKAGES_DYNAMIC variables, which is what bb-search does. There are other
options, of course, this is just one possibility. There's a usage example
in the readme so you can see if it's what you're looking for.
