            <glossdef>
                <para>
                   Specifies if an output package should still be produced if it is empty.
                   By default, BitBake does not produce empty packages.
                   This default behavior can cause issues when there is an
                   <link linkend='var-RDEPENDS'><filename>RDEPENDS</filename></link> or
                   some other runtime hard-requirement on the existence of the package.
                </para>

                <para>
                   Like all package-controlling variables, you must always use them in
                   conjunction with a package name override.
                   Here is an example:
                   <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     ALLOW_EMPTY_${PN} = "1"
                   </literallayout>
                </para>
            </glossdef>
         </glossentry>

         <glossentry id='var-ALTERNATIVE'><glossterm>ALTERNATIVE</glossterm>
            <glossdef>
                <para>
                    Lists commands in a package that need an alternative
                    binary naming scheme.
                    Sometimes the same command is provided in multiple packages.
                    When this occurs, the OpenEmbedded build system needs to
                    use the alternatives system to create a different binary
                    naming scheme so the commands can co-exist.
                </para>

                <para>
                    To use the variable, list out the package's commands
                    that also exist as part of another package.
                    For example, if the <filename>busybox</filename> package
                    has four commands that also exist as part of another
                    package, you identify them as follows:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     ALTERNATIVE_busybox = "sh sed test bracket"
                    </literallayout>
                    For more information on the alternatives system, see the
                    "<link linkend='ref-classes-update-alternatives'>Alternatives - <filename>update-alternatives.bbclass</filename></link>"
                    section.
                </para>
            </glossdef>
         </glossentry>

         <glossentry id='var-ALTERNATIVE_LINK_NAME'><glossterm>ALTERNATIVE_LINK_NAME</glossterm>
            <glossdef>
                <para>
                    Used by the alternatives system to map duplicated commands
                    to actual locations.
                    For example, if the <filename>bracket</filename> command
                    provided by the <filename>busybox</filename> package is
                    duplicated through another package, you must use the
                    <filename>ALTERNATIVE_LINK_NAME</filename> variable to
                    specify the actual location:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     ALTERNATIVE_LINK_NAME[bracket] = "/usr/bin/["
                    </literallayout>
                    In this example, the binary for the
                    <filename>bracket</filename> command (i.e.
                    <filename>[</filename>) from the
                    <filename>busybox</filename> package resides in
                    <filename>/usr/bin/</filename>.
                    <note>
                        If <filename>ALTERNATIVE_LINK_NAME</filename> is not
                        defined, it defaults to
                        <filename>${bindir}/&lt;name&gt;</filename>.
                    </note>
                </para>

                <para>
                    For more information on the alternatives system, see the
                    "<link linkend='ref-classes-update-alternatives'>Alternatives - <filename>update-alternatives.bbclass</filename></link>"
                    section.
                </para>
            </glossdef>
         </glossentry>

         <glossentry id='var-ALTERNATIVE_PRIORITY'><glossterm>ALTERNATIVE_PRIORITY</glossterm>
            <glossdef>
                <para>
                    Used by the alternatives system to create default
                    priorities for duplicated commands.
                    You can use the variable to create a single default
                    regardless of the command name or package, a default for
                    specific duplicated commands regardless of the package, or
                    a default for specific commands tied to particular packages.
                    Here are the available syntax forms:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     ALTERNATIVE_PRIORITY = "&lt;priority&gt;"
     ALTERNATIVE_PRIORITY[&lt;name&gt;] = "&lt;priority&gt;"
     ALTERNATIVE_PRIORITY_&lt;pkg&gt;[&lt;name&gt;] = "&lt;priority&gt;"
                    </literallayout>
                </para>

                    section.
                </para>
            </glossdef>
         </glossentry>

         <glossentry id='var-ALTERNATIVE_TARGET'><glossterm>ALTERNATIVE_TARGET</glossterm>
            <glossdef>
                <para>
                    Used by the alternatives system to create default link
                    locations for duplicated commands.
                    You can use the variable to create a single default
                    location for all duplicated commands regardless of the
                    command name or package, a default for
                    specific duplicated commands regardless of the package, or
                    a default for specific commands tied to particular packages.

                            defined, it inherits the value from the
                            <link linkend='var-ALTERNATIVE_LINK_NAME'><filename>ALTERNATIVE_LINK_NAME</filename></link>
                            variable.

     BB_DISKMON_DIRS = "&lt;action&gt;,&lt;dir&gt;,&lt;threshold&gt; [...]"

     where:

        &lt;action&gt; is:
           ABORT:     Immediately abort the build when
                      a threshold is broken.
           STOPTASKS: Stop the build after the currently
                      executing tasks have finished when
                      a threshold is broken.
           WARN:      Issue a warning but continue the
                      build when a threshold is broken.
                      Subsequent warnings are issued as
                      defined by the
                      <link linkend='var-BB_DISKMON_WARNINTERVAL'>BB_DISKMON_WARNINTERVAL</link> variable,
                      which must be defined in the
                      conf/local.conf file.

        &lt;dir&gt; is:
           Any directory you choose. You can specify one or
           more directories to monitor by separating the
           groupings with a space.  If two directories are
           on the same device, only the first directory
           is monitored.

        &lt;threshold&gt; is:
           Either the minimum available disk space,
           the minimum number of free inodes, or
           both.  You must specify at least one.  To
           omit one or the other, simply omit the value.
           Specify the threshold using G, M, K for Gbytes,
           Mbytes, and Kbytes, respectively. If you do
           not specify G, M, or K, Kbytes is assumed by
           default.  Do not use GB, MB, or KB.

                <para>
                    Here are some examples:

     BB_DISKMON_DIRS = "ABORT,${TMPDIR},1G,100K WARN,${SSTATE_DIR},1G,100K"
     BB_DISKMON_DIRS = "STOPTASKS,${TMPDIR},1G"
     BB_DISKMON_DIRS = "ABORT,${TMPDIR},,100K"
                    </literallayout>
                    The first example works only if you also provide
                    the <link linkend='var-BB_DISKMON_WARNINTERVAL'><filename>BB_DISKMON_WARNINTERVAL</filename></link> variable
                    in the <filename>conf/local.conf</filename>.
                    This example causes the build system to immediately
                    abort when either the disk space in <filename>${TMPDIR}</filename> drops
                    below 1 Gbyte or the available free inodes drops below
                    100 Kbytes.
                    Because two directories are provided with the variable, the
                    build system also issue a
                    warning when the disk space in the
                    <filename>${SSTATE_DIR}</filename> directory drops
                    below 1 Gbyte or the number of free inodes drops
                    below 100 Kbytes.
                    Subsequent warnings are issued during intervals as
                    defined by the <filename>BB_DISKMON_WARNINTERVAL</filename>
                    variable.
                </para>

                <para>
                    The second example stops the build after all currently
                    executing tasks complete when the minimum disk space
                    in the <filename>${<link linkend='var-TMPDIR'>TMPDIR</link>}</filename>
                    directory drops below 1 Gbyte.
                    No disk monitoring occurs for the free inodes in this case.
                </para>

                <para>
                    The final example immediately aborts the build when the
                    number of free inodes in the <filename>${TMPDIR}</filename> directory
                    drops below 100 Kbytes.
                    No disk space monitoring for the directory itself occurs
                    in this case.

                    Allows you to extend a recipe so that it builds variants of the software.
                    Common variants for recipes exist such as "natives" like <filename>quilt-native</filename>,
                    which is a copy of Quilt built to run on the build system;
                    "crosses" such as <filename>gcc-cross</filename>,
                    which is a compiler built to run on the build machine but produces binaries
                    that run on the target <link linkend='var-MACHINE'><filename>MACHINE</filename></link>;
                    "nativesdk", which targets the SDK machine instead of <filename>MACHINE</filename>;
                    and "mulitlibs" in the form "<filename>multilib:&lt;multilib_name&gt;</filename>".

                    To build a different variant of the recipe with a minimal amount of code, it usually
                    is as simple as adding the following to your recipe:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>

     BBCLASSEXTEND =+ "multilib:&lt;multilib_name&gt;"

                <para>This variable is useful in situations where the same recipe appears in
                    more than one layer.
                    Setting this variable allows you to prioritize a
                    layer against other layers that contain the same recipe - effectively
                    letting you control the precedence for the multiple layers.
                    The precedence established through this variable stands regardless of a
                    recipe's version
                    (<link linkend='var-PV'><filename>PV</filename></link> variable).
                    For example, a layer that has a recipe with a higher <filename>PV</filename> value but for
                    which the <filename>BBFILE_PRIORITY</filename> is set to have a lower precedence still has a
                    lower precedence.</para>
                <para>A larger value for the <filename>BBFILE_PRIORITY</filename> variable results in a higher
                    precedence.
                    For example, the value 6 has a higher precedence than the value 5.
                    If not specified, the <filename>BBFILE_PRIORITY</filename> variable is set based on layer
                    dependencies (see the
                    <filename><link linkend='var-LAYERDEPENDS'>LAYERDEPENDS</link></filename> variable for
                    more information.
                    The default priority, if unspecified
                    for a layer with no dependencies, is the lowest defined priority + 1
                    (or 1 if no priorities are defined).</para>

                    BitBake ignores any recipe or recipe append files that

                    It is as if BitBake does not see them at all.

                    The following example uses a complete regular expression

                    If you want to mask out multiple directories or recipes,
                    use the vertical bar to separate the regular expression
                    fragments.
                    This next example masks out multiple directories and

                <para>
                    Identifies editable or configurable files that are part of a package.
                    If the Package Management System (PMS) is being used to update
                    packages on the target system, it is possible that
                    configuration files you have changed after the original installation
                    and that you now want to remain unchanged are overwritten.
                    In other words, editable files might exist in the package that you do not
                    want reset as part of the package update process.
                    You can use the <filename>CONFFILES</filename> variable to list the files in the
                    package that you wish to prevent the PMS from overwriting during this update process.
                </para>

                <para>
                    To use the <filename>CONFFILES</filename> variable, provide a package name
                    override that identifies the resulting package.
                    Then, provide a space-separated list of files.
                    Here is an example:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
  CONFFILES_${PN} += "${sysconfdir}/file1 \
     ${sysconfdir}/file2 ${sysconfdir}/file3"
                    </literallayout>
                </para>

                <para>
                    A relationship exists between the <filename>CONFFILES</filename> and
                    <filename><link linkend='var-FILES'>FILES</link></filename> variables.
                    The files listed within <filename>CONFFILES</filename> must be a subset of
                    the files listed within <filename>FILES</filename>.
                    Because the configuration files you provide with <filename>CONFFILES</filename>
                    are simply being identified so that the PMS will not overwrite them,
                    it makes sense that
                    the files must already be included as part of the package through the
                    <filename>FILES</filename> variable.
                </para>

                <note>
                    When specifying paths as part of the <filename>CONFFILES</filename> variable,
                    it is good practice to use appropriate path variables.
                    For example, <filename>${sysconfdir}</filename> rather than
                    <filename>/etc</filename> or <filename>${bindir}</filename> rather
                    than <filename>/usr/bin</filename>.
                    You can find a list of these variables at the top of the
                    <filename>/meta/conf/bitbake.conf</filename> file in the
                    <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>.

                <para>
                    It is an important distinction that
                    <filename>COREBASE</filename> points to the parent of this
                    layer and not the layer itself.
                    Consider an example where you have cloned the Poky Git
                    repository and retained the <filename>poky</filename>
                    name for your local copy of the repository.
                    In this case, <filename>COREBASE</filename> points to
                    the <filename>poky</filename> folder because it is the
                    parent directory of the <filename>poky/meta</filename>

                    Lists a recipe's build-time dependencies
                    (i.e. other recipe files).
                    The system ensures that all the dependencies listed
                    have been built and have their contents in the appropriate
                    sysroots before the recipe's configure task is executed.

                <para>
                    Consider this simple example for two recipes named "a" and
                    "b" that produce similarly named packages.
                    In this example, the <filename>DEPENDS</filename>
                    statement appears in the "a" recipe:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     DEPENDS = "b"
                    </literallayout>
                    Here, the dependency is such that the
                    <filename>do_configure</filename> task for recipe "a"
                    depends on the <filename>do_populate_sysroot</filename>
                    task of recipe "b".
                    This means anything that recipe "b" puts into sysroot
                    is available when recipe "a" is configuring itself.

                    Tarballs are all stored in the directory defined by
                    <filename>DL_DIR</filename> and the build system looks there

                    Here are some examples of features you can add:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
"dbg-pkgs" - Adds -dbg packages for all installed packages
             including symbol information for debugging and
             profiling.

"debug-tweaks" - Makes an image suitable for development.
                 For example, ssh root access has a blank
                 password.  You should remove this feature
                 before you produce a production image.

"dev-pkgs" - Adds -dev packages for all installed packages.
             This is useful if you want to develop against
             the libraries in the image.

"read-only-rootfs" - Creates an image whose root
                     filesystem is read-only. See the
                     "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#creating-a-read-only-root-filesystem'>Creating a Read-Only Root Filesystem</ulink>"

                     Development Manual for more
                     information

"tools-debug" - Adds debugging tools such as gdb and
                strace.

"tools-profile" - Adds profiling tools such as oprofile,
                  exmap, lttng and valgrind (x86 only).

"tools-sdk" - Adds development tools such as gcc, make,
              pkgconfig and so forth.

"tools-testapps" - Adds useful testing tools such as
                   ts_print, aplay, arecord and so
                   forth.

                <para>
                    The list of directories or files that are placed in packages.
                </para>

                <para>
                    To use the <filename>FILES</filename> variable, provide a package name
                    override that identifies the resulting package.
                    Then, provide a space-separated list of files or paths that identifies the
                    files you want included as part of the resulting package.
                    Here is an example:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
  FILES_${PN} += "${bindir}/mydir1/ ${bindir}/mydir2/myfile"
                    </literallayout>
                </para>

                <note>
                    When specifying paths as part of the <filename>FILES</filename> variable,
                    it is good practice to use appropriate path variables.
                    For example, <filename>${sysconfdir}</filename> rather than
                    <filename>/etc</filename> or <filename>${bindir}</filename> rather
                    than <filename>/usr/bin</filename>.
                    You can find a list of these variables at the top of the
                    <filename>/meta/conf/bitbake.conf</filename> file in the
                    <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>.

                <para>
                    If some of the files you provide with the <filename>FILES</filename> variable
                    are editable and you know they should not be
                    overwritten during the package update process by the Package Management
                    System (PMS), you can identify these files so that the PMS will not
                    overwrite them.
                    See the <filename><link linkend='var-CONFFILES'>CONFFILES</link></filename>
                    variable for information on how to identify these files to the PMS.

        <glossentry id='var-FILESEXTRAPATHS'><glossterm>FILESEXTRAPATHS</glossterm>
            <glossdef>
                <para>
                    Extends the search path the OpenEmbedded build system uses
                    when looking for files and patches as it processes recipes
                    and append files.
                    The default directories BitBake uses when it processes
                    recipes are initially defined by the
                    <link linkend='var-FILESPATH'><filename>FILESPATH</filename></link>
                    variable.
                    You can extend <filename>FILESPATH</filename> variable
                    by using <filename>FILESEXTRAPATHS</filename>.
                </para>

                <para>
                    Best practices dictate that you accomplish this by using
                    <filename>FILESEXTRAPATHS</filename> from within a
                    <filename>.bbappend</filename> file and that you prepend
                    paths as follows:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}:"
                    </literallayout>
                    In the above example, the build system first looks for files
                    in a directory that has the same name as the corresponding
                    append file.
                    <note>
                        <para>When extending <filename>FILESEXTRAPATHS</filename>,
                        be sure to use the immediate expansion
                        (<filename>:=</filename>) operator.
                        Immediate expansion makes sure that BitBake evaluates
                        <link linkend='var-THISDIR'><filename>THISDIR</filename></link>
                        at the time the directive is encountered rather than at
                        some later time when expansion might result in a
                        directory that does not contain the files you need.
                        </para>
                        <para>Also, include the trailing separating colon
                        character if you are prepending.
                        The trailing colon character is necessary because you
                        are directing BitBake to extend the path by prepending
                        directories to the search path.</para>
                    </note>
                    Here is another common use:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"
                    </literallayout>
                    In this example, the build system extends the
                    <filename>FILESPATH</filename> variable to include a
                    directory named <filename>files</filename> that is in the
                    same directory as the corresponding append file.
                </para>

                <para>
                    Here is a final example that specifically adds three paths:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "path_1:path_2:path_3:"
                    </literallayout>
                </para>

                <para>
                    By prepending paths in <filename>.bbappend</filename>
                    files, you allow multiple append files that reside in
                    different layers but are used for the same recipe to
                    correctly extend the path.

                    <link linkend='var-FILESPATH'><filename>FILESPATH</filename></link>.
                    You can find more information on how overrides are handled
                    in the BitBake Manual that is located at

                </para>

                <para>
                    By default, the <filename>FILESOVERRIDES</filename>
                    variable is defined as:

     FILESOVERRIDES = "${TRANSLATED_TARGET_ARCH}:${MACHINEOVERRIDES}:${DISTROOVERRIDES}"

                        variable.
                        The values match up with expected overrides and are
                        used in an expected manner by the build system.

                    The default set of directories the OpenEmbedded build system
                    uses when searching for patches and files.
                    During the build process, BitBake searches each directory in

                        If you want the build system to look in directories

                    Be aware that the default <filename>FILESPATH</filename>

                    If you want the build system to find patches or files

                    a set of groups and users across an entire work project.
                    It is best to do this in the packages themselves but this is not always

                    Specifies the packages to install into an image.
                    The <filename>IMAGE_INSTALL</filename> variable is a mechanism for an image
                    recipe and you should use it with care to avoid ordering issues.
                </para>

                <para>
                    Image recipes set <filename>IMAGE_INSTALL</filename> to specify the
                    packages to install into an image through <filename>image.bbclass</filename>.
                    Additionally, "helper" classes exist, such as <filename>core-image.bbclass</filename>,
                    that can take
                    <filename><link linkend='var-IMAGE_FEATURES'>IMAGE_FEATURES</link></filename> lists
                    and turn these into auto-generated entries in
                    <filename>IMAGE_INSTALL</filename> in addition to its default contents.
                </para>

                <para>
                    Using <filename>IMAGE_INSTALL</filename> with the <filename>+=</filename>
                    operator from the <filename>/conf/local.conf</filename> file or from within
                    an image recipe is not recommended as it can cause ordering issues.
                    Since <filename>core-image.bbclass</filename> sets <filename>IMAGE_INSTALL</filename>
                    to a default value using the <filename>?=</filename> operator, using a
                    <filename>+=</filename> operation against <filename>IMAGE_INSTALL</filename>
                    will result in unexpected behavior when used in
                    <filename>/conf/local.conf</filename>.
                    Furthermore, the same operation from with an image recipe may or may not
                    succeed depending on the specific situation.
                    In both these cases, the behavior is contrary to how most users expect
                    the <filename>+=</filename> operator to work.
                </para>

                <para>
                    When you use this variable, it is best to use it as follows:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " package-name"
                    </literallayout>
                    Be sure to include the space between the quotation character and the start of the
                    package name.

        <glossentry id='var-IMAGE_LINGUAS'><glossterm>IMAGE_LINGUAS</glossterm>
            <glossdef>
                <para>
                    Specifies the list of locales to install into the image
                    during the root filesystem construction process.
                    The OpenEmbedded build system automatically splits locale
                    files, which are used for localization, into separate
                    packages.
                    Setting the <filename>IMAGE_LINGUAS</filename> variable
                    ensures that any locale packages that correspond to packages
                    already selected for installation into the image are also
                    installed.
                    Here is an example:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     IMAGE_LINGUAS = "pt-br de-de"
                    </literallayout>
                    In this example, the build system ensures any Brazilian
                    Portuguese and German locale files that correspond to
                    packages in the image are installed (i.e.
                    <filename>*-locale-pt-br</filename>
                    and <filename>*-locale-de-de</filename> as well as
                    <filename>*-locale-pt</filename>
                    and <filename>*-locale-de</filename>, since some software
                    packages only provide locale files by language and not by
                    country-specific language).
                </para>
            </glossdef>
        </glossentry>

        <glossentry id='var-IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR'><glossterm>IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR</glossterm>
            <glossdef>
                <para>
                    Defines a multiplier that the build system applies to the initial image
                    size for cases when the multiplier times the returned disk usage value
                    for the image is greater than the sum of
                    <filename><link linkend='var-IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE'>IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE</link></filename>
                    and
                    <filename><link linkend='var-IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE'>IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE</link></filename>.
                    The result of the multiplier applied to the initial image size creates
                    free disk space in the image as overhead.
                    By default, the build process uses a multiplier of 1.3 for this variable.
                    This default value results in 30% free disk space added to the image when this
                    method is used to determine the final generated image size.
                    You should be aware that post install scripts and the package management
                    system uses disk space inside this overhead area.
                    Consequently, the multiplier does not produce an image with
                    all the theoretical free disk space.
                    See <filename><link linkend='var-IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE'>IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE</link></filename>
                    for information on how the build system determines the overall image size.
                </para>

                <para>
                    The default 30% free disk space typically gives the image enough room to boot
                    and allows for basic post installs while still leaving a small amount of
                    free disk space.
                    If 30% free space is inadequate, you can increase the default value.
                    For example, the following setting gives you 50% free space added to the image:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR = "1.5"
                    </literallayout>
                </para>

                <para>
                    Alternatively, you can ensure a specific amount of free disk space is added
                    to the image by using
                    <filename><link linkend='var-IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE'>IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE</link></filename>
                    the variable.

                    Added by classes to run post processing commands once the
                    OpenEmbedded build system has created the image.
                    You can specify shell commands separated by semicolons:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     IMAGE_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND += "&lt;shell_command&gt;; ... "
                    </literallayout>
                    If you need to pass the path to the root filesystem within
                    the command, you can use
                    <filename>${IMAGE_ROOTFS}</filename>, which points to
                    the root filesystem image.

                    By default, this variable is set to "0".
                    This free disk space is added to the image after the build system determines
                    the image size as described in
                    <filename><link linkend='var-IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE'>IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE</link></filename>.
                </para>

                <para>
                    This variable is particularly useful when you want to ensure that a
                    specific amount of free disk space is available on a device after an image
                    is installed and running.
                    For example, to be sure 5 Gbytes of free disk space is available, set the
                    variable as follows:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE = "5242880"

                    Defines the size in Kbytes for the generated image.
                    The OpenEmbedded build system determines the final size for the generated
                    image using an algorithm that takes into account the initial disk space used
                    for the generated image, a requested size for the image, and requested
                    additional free disk space to be added to the image.
                    Programatically, the build system determines the final size of the
                    generated image as follows:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
    if (image-du * overhead) &lt; rootfs-size:
	internal-rootfs-size = rootfs-size + xspace

    where:

      image-du = Returned value of the du command on
                 the image.

      overhead = IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR

      rootfs-size = IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE

      internal-rootfs-size = Initial root filesystem
                             size before any modifications.

                <para>Helps define the recipe revision for recipes that share
                    a common <filename>include</filename> file.
                    You can think of this variable as part of the recipe revision
                    as set from within an include file.</para>
                <para>Suppose, for example, you have a set of recipes that
                    are used across several projects.
                    And, within each of those recipes the revision
                    (its <link linkend='var-PR'><filename>PR</filename></link>
                    value) is set accordingly.
                    In this case, when the revision of those recipes changes,
                    the burden is on you to find all those recipes and
                    be sure that they get changed to reflect the updated
                    version of the recipe.
                    In this scenario, it can get complicated when recipes
                    that are used in many places and provide common functionality
                    are upgraded to a new revision.</para>
                <para>A more efficient way of dealing with this situation is
                    to set the <filename>INC_PR</filename> variable inside
                    the <filename>include</filename> files that the recipes
                    share and then expand the <filename>INC_PR</filename>
                    variable within the recipes to help
                    define the recipe revision.
                    </para>
                <para>
                    The following provides an example that shows how to use
                    the <filename>INC_PR</filename> variable
                    given a common <filename>include</filename> file that
                    defines the variable.
                    Once the variable is defined in the
                    <filename>include</filename> file, you can use the
                    variable to set the <filename>PR</filename> values in
                    each recipe.
                    You will notice that when you set a recipe's
                    <filename>PR</filename> you can provide more granular
                    revisioning by appending values to the
                    <filename>INC_PR</filename> variable:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
recipes-graphics/xorg-font/xorg-font-common.inc:INC_PR = "r2"
recipes-graphics/xorg-font/encodings_1.0.4.bb:PR = "${INC_PR}.1"
recipes-graphics/xorg-font/font-util_1.3.0.bb:PR = "${INC_PR}.0"
recipes-graphics/xorg-font/font-alias_1.0.3.bb:PR = "${INC_PR}.3"
                    </literallayout>
                    The first line of the example establishes the baseline
                    revision to be used for all recipes that use the
                    <filename>include</filename> file.
                    The remaining lines in the example are from individual
                    recipes and show how the <filename>PR</filename> value
                    is set.</para>

                    Without limiting the execution of post installation scripts,
                    all font directories would be rescanned to create the

                    A regular expression used by the build process to explicitly identify the kernel
                    branch that is validated, patched and configured during a build.
                    The <filename>KBRANCH</filename> variable is optional.
                    You can use it to trigger checks to ensure the exact kernel branch you want is
                    being used by the build process.

                <para>
                    Values for this variable are set in the kernel's recipe file and the kernel's
                    append file.
                    For example, if you are using the Yocto Project kernel that is based on the
                    Linux 3.4 kernel, the kernel recipe file is the
                    <filename>meta/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto_3.4.bb</filename> file.
                    Following is the default value for <filename>KBRANCH</filename> and the default
                    override for the architectures the Yocto Project supports:

     KBRANCH_DEFAULT = "standard/base"
     KBRANCH = "${KBRANCH_DEFAULT}"
                    </literallayout>
                    This branch exists in the <filename>linux-yocto-3.4</filename> kernel Git
                    repository <ulink url='&YOCTO_GIT_URL;/cgit.cgi/linux-yocto-3.4/refs/heads'></ulink>.
                </para>

                <para>
                    This variable is also used from the kernel's append file to identify the kernel
                    branch specific to a particular machine or target hardware.
                    The kernel's append file is located in the BSP layer for a given machine.
                    For example, the kernel append file for the Crown Bay BSP is in the
                    <filename>meta-intel</filename> Git repository and is named

                <para>
                    The machine as known by the kernel.
                    Sometimes the machine name used by the kernel does not match the machine name
                    used by the OpenEmbedded build system.
                    For example, the machine name that the OpenEmbedded build system understands as
                    <filename>qemuarm</filename> goes by a different name in the Linux Yocto kernel.
                    The kernel understands that machine as <filename>arm_versatile926ejs</filename>.
                    For cases like these, the <filename>KMACHINE</filename> variable maps the
                    kernel machine name to the OpenEmbedded build system machine name.
                </para>

                <para>
                    Kernel machine names are initially defined in the
                    Yocto Linux Kernel's <filename>meta</filename> branch.
                    From the <filename>meta</filename> branch, look in
                    the <filename>meta/cfg/kernel-cache/bsp/&lt;bsp_name&gt;/&lt;bsp-name&gt;-&lt;kernel-type&gt;.scc</filename> file.
                    For example, from the <filename>meta</filename> branch in the
                    <filename>linux-yocto-3.0</filename> kernel, the
                    <filename>meta/cfg/kernel-cache/bsp/cedartrail/cedartrail-standard.scc</filename> file
                    has the following:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     define KMACHINE cedartrail
     define KTYPE standard
     define KARCH i386

     include ktypes/standard
     branch cedartrail

     include cedartrail.scc
                    </literallayout>
                    You can see that the kernel understands the machine name for
                    the Cedar Trail Board Support Package (BSP) as
                    <filename>cedartrail</filename>.
                </para>

                <para>
                    If you look in the Cedar Trail BSP layer in the
                    <filename>meta-intel</filename>
                    <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#source-repositories'>Source Repositories</ulink>
                    at <filename>meta-cedartrail/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto_3.0.bbappend</filename>,
                    you will find the following statements among others:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     COMPATIBLE_MACHINE_cedartrail = "cedartrail"
     KMACHINE_cedartrail  = "cedartrail"
     KBRANCH_cedartrail  = "yocto/standard/cedartrail"
     KERNEL_FEATURES_append_cedartrail += "bsp/cedartrail/cedartrail-pvr-merge.scc"
     KERNEL_FEATURES_append_cedartrail += "cfg/efi-ext.scc"

     COMPATIBLE_MACHINE_cedartrail-nopvr = "cedartrail"
     KMACHINE_cedartrail-nopvr  = "cedartrail"
     KBRANCH_cedartrail-nopvr  = "yocto/standard/cedartrail"
     KERNEL_FEATURES_append_cedartrail-nopvr += " cfg/smp.scc"
                    </literallayout>
                    The <filename>KMACHINE</filename> statements in the kernel's append file make sure that
                    the OpenEmbedded build system and the Yocto Linux kernel understand the same machine
                    names.
                </para>

                <para>
                    This append file uses two <filename>KMACHINE</filename> statements.
                    The first is not really necessary but does ensure that the machine known to the
                    OpenEmbedded build system as <filename>cedartrail</filename> maps to the machine
                    in the kernel also known as <filename>cedartrail</filename>:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     KMACHINE_cedartrail  = "cedartrail"
                    </literallayout>
                </para>

                <para>
                    The second statement is a good example of why the <filename>KMACHINE</filename> variable
                    is needed.
                    In this example, the OpenEmbedded build system uses the <filename>cedartrail-nopvr</filename>
                    machine name to refer to the Cedar Trail BSP that does not support the proprietary
                    PowerVR driver.
                    The kernel, however, uses the machine name <filename>cedartrail</filename>.
                    Thus, the append file must map the <filename>cedartrail-nopvr</filename> machine name to
                    the kernel's <filename>cedartrail</filename> name:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     KMACHINE_cedartrail-nopvr  = "cedartrail"
                    </literallayout>
                </para>

                <para>
                    BSPs that ship with the Yocto Project release provide all mappings between the Yocto
                    Project kernel machine names and the OpenEmbedded machine names.
                    Be sure to use the <filename>KMACHINE</filename> if you create a BSP and the machine
                    name you use is different than that used in the kernel.

                    The first example is from the recipes for Qt, which the user

                    2.1 or GPL version 3.
                    The second example is from Cairo where two licenses cover
                    different parts of the source code.
                    The final example is from <filename>sysstat</filename>,

                    The build process does not depend on these packages being present.
                    However, because this is a "machine essential" variable, the list of
                    packages are essential for the machine to boot.

                    In other words, the image will still build if a package in this list is not found.
                    Typically, this variable is used to handle essential kernel modules, whose
                    functionality may be selected to be built into the kernel rather than as a module,
                    in which case a package will not be produced.

                <para>
                    Consider an example where you have a custom kernel where a specific touchscreen
                    driver is required for the machine to be usable.
                    However, the driver can be built as a module or
                    into the kernel depending on the kernel configuration.
                    If the driver is built as a module, you want it to be installed.
                    But, when the driver is built into the kernel, you still want the
                    build to succeed.
                    This variable sets up a "recommends" relationship so that in the latter case,
                    the build will not fail due to the missing package.
                    To accomplish this, assuming the package for the module was called
                    <filename>kernel-module-ab123</filename>, you would use the
                    following in the machine's <filename>.conf</filename> configuration

                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>

                    An example is a machine that has WiFi capability but is not

                    However, if you are building a more fully-featured image, you want to enable

                    The package containing the firmware for the WiFi hardware is always

                    finding the package.
                    In this case, assuming the package for the firmware was called
                    <filename>wifidriver-firmware</filename>, you would use the following in the
                    <filename>.conf</filename> file for the machine:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     MACHINE_EXTRA_RDEPENDS += "wifidriver-firmware"
                    </literallayout>

                    A list of machine-specific packages to install as part of the
                    image being built that are not essential for booting the machine.
                    The image being built has no build dependency on this list of packages.

                    This variable is similar to the

                    variable with the exception that the image being built does not have a build
                    dependency on the variable's list of packages.
                    In other words, the image will build if a file in this list is not found.
                </para>
                <para>
                    An example is a machine that has WiFi capability but is not essential
                    For the machine to boot the image.
                    However, if you are building a more fully-featured image, you want to enable
                    WiFi.
                    In this case, the package containing the WiFi kernel module will not be produced
                    if the WiFi driver is built into the kernel, in which case you still want the
                    build to succeed instead of failing as a result of the package not being found.
                    To accomplish this, assuming the package for the module was called
                    <filename>kernel-module-examplewifi</filename>, you would use the
                    following in the <filename>.conf</filename> file for the machine:

                    You can extend the list to apply variable overrides for
                    classes of machines.
                    For example, all QEMU emulated machines (e.g. qemuarm,
                    qemux86, and so forth) include a common file named
                    <filename>meta/conf/machine/include/qemu.inc</filename>
                    that prepends <filename>MACHINEOVERRIDES</filename> with

    MACHINEOVERRIDES =. "qemuall:"
                    </literallayout>
                    Applying an override like <filename>qemuall</filename>
                    affects all QEMU emulated machines elsewhere.

                    Because the build system halts the process with a fatal

                    The features themselves are specified as flags on the
                    <filename>PACKAGECONFIG</filename> variable.
                    You can provide up to four arguments, which are separated by
                    commas, to determine the behavior of each feature
                    when it is enabled or disabled.
                    You can omit any argument you like but must retain the

                    the feature is enabled.
                    In this case, <filename>--with-croco</filename> is
                    added to the configure script argument list and
                    <filename>libcroco</filename> is added to

                    On the other hand, if the feature is disabled say through
                    a <filename>.bbappend</filename> file in another layer, then
                    the second argument <filename>--without-croco</filename> is

                    A promise that your recipe satisfies runtime dependencies

                    they should be satisfied.
                    For example, if a hard, runtime dependency
                    (<link linkend='var-RDEPENDS'><filename>RDEPENDS</filename></link>)
                    of another package is satisfied
                    at build time through the <filename>PACKAGES_DYNAMIC</filename>
                    variable, but a package with the module name is never actually
                    produced, then the other package will be broken.
                    Thus, if you attempt to include that package in an image,
                    you will get a dependency failure from the packaging system

                    You can set this variable to one of two values: "noop" and
                    "user".
                </para>

                <para>
                    The default value of "noop" causes the build to simply fail
                    when the OpenEmbedded build system cannot successfully
                    apply a patch.
                    Setting the value to "user" causes the build system to
                    launch a shell and places you in the right location so that
                    you can manually resolve the conflicts.

                    The default utility used is "quilt" except for the

                    Because the quilt tool is not available at the

                    If multiple recipes provide an item, this variable

                    You should always suffix the variable with the name of the

                    of the recipe to which you want to give precedence.

                    accordingly for precedence.
                    You can use the "<filename>%</filename>" character as a

                   Like all package-controlling variables, you must always use
                   them in conjunction with a package name override.
                   Here is an example:
                   <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     RCONFLICTS_${PN} = "another-conflicting-package-name"

                    BitBake, which the OpenEmbedded build system uses, supports
                    specifying versioned dependencies.
                    Although the syntax varies depending on the packaging
                    format, BitBake hides these differences from you.
                    Here is the general syntax to specify versions with
                    the <filename>RCONFLICTS</filename> variable:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     RCONFLICTS_${PN} = "&lt;package&gt; (&lt;operator&gt; &lt;version&gt;)"
                    </literallayout>
                    For <filename>operator</filename>, you can specify the
                    following:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     =
     &lt;
     &gt;
     &lt;=
     &gt;=
                    </literallayout>
                    For example, the following sets up a dependency on version
                    1.2 or greater of the package <filename>foo</filename>:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     RCONFLICTS_${PN} = "foo (>= 1.2)"
                    </literallayout>

        <glossentry id='var-RDEPENDS'><glossterm>RDEPENDS</glossterm>
            <glossdef>
                <para>
                    Lists a package's runtime dependencies (i.e. other packages)
                    that must be installed in order for the built package to run
                    correctly.
                    If a package in this list cannot be found during the build,
                    you will get a build error.
                </para>

                <para>
                    When you use the <filename>RDEPENDS</filename> variable
                    in a recipe, you are essentially stating that the recipe's
                    <filename>do_build</filename> task depends on the existence
                    of a specific package.
                    Consider this simple example for two recipes named "a" and
                    "b" that produce similarly named packages.
                    In this example, the <filename>RDEPENDS</filename>
                    statement appears in the "a" recipe:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     RDEPENDS_${PN} = "b"
                    </literallayout>
                    Here, the dependency is such that the
                    <filename>do_build</filename> task for recipe "a" depends
                    on the <filename>do_package_write</filename> task
                    of recipe "b".
                    This means the package file for "b" must be available when
                    the output for recipe "a" has been completely built.
                    More importantly, package "a" will be marked as depending
                    on package "b" in a manner that is understood by the
                    package manager in use (i.e. rpm, opkg, or dpkg).
                </para>

                <para>
                    The names of the packages you list within
                    <filename>RDEPENDS</filename> must be the names of other
                    packages - they cannot be recipe names.
                    Although package names and recipe names usually match,
                    the important point here is that you are
                    providing package names within the
                    <filename>RDEPENDS</filename> variable.
                    For an example of the default list of packages created from
                    a recipe, see the
                    <link linkend='var-PACKAGES'><filename>PACKAGES</filename></link>
                    variable.
                </para>

                <para>
                    Because the <filename>RDEPENDS</filename> variable applies
                    to packages being built, you should always use the variable
                    in a form with an attached package name.
                    For example, suppose you are building a development package
                    that depends on the <filename>perl</filename> package.
                    In this case, you would use the following
                    <filename>RDEPENDS</filename> statement:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     RDEPENDS_${PN}-dev += "perl"
                    </literallayout>
                    In the example, the development package depends on
                    the <filename>perl</filename> package.
                    Thus, the <filename>RDEPENDS</filename> variable has the
                    <filename>${PN}-dev</filename> package name as part of the
                    variable.
                </para>

                <para>
                    The package name you attach to the
                    <filename>RDEPENDS</filename> variable must appear
                    as it would in the <filename>PACKAGES</filename>
                    namespace before any renaming of the output package by
                    classes like <filename>debian.bbclass</filename>.
                </para>

                <para>
                    In many cases you do not need to explicitly add
                    runtime dependencies using
                    <filename>RDEPENDS</filename> since some automatic
                    handling occurs:

                            libraries to which it is dynamically linked.
                            The build process adds these libraries to

                    BitBake, which the OpenEmbedded build system uses, supports
                    specifying versioned dependencies.
                    Although the syntax varies depending on the packaging
                    format, BitBake hides these differences from you.
                    Here is the general syntax to specify versions with

     RDEPENDS_${PN} = "&lt;package&gt; (&lt;operator&gt; &lt;version&gt;)"
                    </literallayout>
                    For <filename>operator</filename>, you can specify the
                    following:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     =
     &lt;
     &gt;
     &lt;=
     &gt;=
                    </literallayout>
                    For example, the following sets up a dependency on version
                    1.2 or greater of the package <filename>foo</filename>:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>

                    A list of packages that extends the usability of a package
                    being built.
                    The package being built does not depend on this list of
                    packages in order to successfully build, but needs them for
                    the extended usability.
                    To specify runtime dependencies for packages, see the
                    <filename><link linkend='var-RDEPENDS'>RDEPENDS</link></filename>

                    The OpenEmbedded build process automatically installs the
                    list of packages as part of the built package.
                    However, you can remove these packages later if you want.
                    If, during the build, a package from the
                    <filename>RRECOMMENDS</filename> list cannot be
                    found, the build process continues without an error.
                </para>

                <para>
                    You can also prevent packages in the list from being
                    installed by using several variables.

                <para>
                    Because the <filename>RRECOMMENDS</filename> variable
                    applies to packages being built, you should always attach
                    an override to the variable to specify the particular
                    package whose usability is being extended.
                    For example, suppose you are building a development package
                    that is extended to support wireless functionality.
                    In this case, you would use the following:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     RRECOMMENDS_${PN}-dev += "&lt;wireless_package_name&gt;"
                    </literallayout>
                    In the example, the package name
                    (<filename>${<link linkend='var-PN'>PN</link>}-dev</filename>)
                    must appear as it would in the
                    <filename><link linkend='var-PACKAGES'>PACKAGES</link></filename>
                    namespace before any renaming of the output package by

                    A list of packages replaced by a package.
                    The package manager uses this variable to determine which
                    package should be installed to replace other package(s)
                    during an upgrade.
                    In order to also have the other package(s) removed at the
                    same time, you must add the name of the other
                    package to the
                    <filename><link linkend='var-RCONFLICTS'>RCONFLICTS</link></filename> variable.

                   Here is an example:

     RREPLACES_${PN} = "other-package-being-replaced"

                    BitBake, which the OpenEmbedded build system uses, supports
                    specifying versioned replacements.
                    Although the syntax varies depending on the packaging
                    format, BitBake hides these differences from you.
                    Here is the general syntax to specify versions with
                    the <filename>RREPLACES</filename> variable:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     RREPLACES_${PN} = "&lt;package&gt; (&lt;operator&gt; &lt;version&gt;)"
                    </literallayout>
                    For <filename>operator</filename>, you can specify the
                    following:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     =
     &lt;
     &gt;
     &lt;=
     &gt;=
                    </literallayout>
                    For example, the following sets up a replacement using
                    version 1.2 or greater of the package
                    <filename>foo</filename>:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     RREPLACES_${PN} = "foo (>= 1.2)"

                    In other words, packages are built so that they will run

                    This variable tells the OpenEmbedded build system which bits
                    to pull in for the build and how to pull them in.
                    For example, if the recipe or append file only needs to
                    fetch a tarball from the Internet, the recipe or
                    append file uses a single <filename>SRC_URI</filename>
                    entry.
                    On the other hand, if the recipe or append file needs to
                    fetch a tarball, apply two patches, and include a custom
                    file, the recipe or append file would include four
                    instances of the variable.</para>

                            the
                            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#metadata'>Metadata</ulink>,

                            variable.
                            Thus, the build system searches, in order, from the
                            following directories, which are assumed to be a

                    to avoid performing a query on the remote repository every time
                    BitBake parses your recipe, you should specify a <filename>SRCREV</filename> that is a

                    The Yocto Project provides a core set of tests that can

                    Tests include <filename>ping</filename>,

                    You can add your own tests to the list of tests by

                    The order in which tests are run is important.
                    Tests that depend on another test must appear later in the
                    list than the test on which they depend.
                    For example, if you append the list of tests with two
                    tests (<filename>test_A</filename> and

                    This variable lists packages the OpenEmbedded build system

                    cross-development environment.
                    The packages specified by this variable are part of the
                    toolchain set that runs on the

                    The pathname of the working directory in which the OpenEmbedded build system
                    builds a recipe.
                    This directory is located within the

                    The actual <filename>WORKDIR</filename> directory depends on several things:

                        <listitem>The temporary directory - <link linkend='var-TMPDIR'><filename>TMPDIR</filename></link></listitem>

                        <listitem>The recipe name - <link linkend='var-PN'><filename>PN</filename></link></listitem>
                        <listitem>The recipe version - <link linkend='var-PV'><filename>PV</filename></link></listitem>

                    </itemizedlist>
                </para>

                <para>
                    For packages that are not dependent on a particular machine,
                    <filename>WORKDIR</filename> is defined as follows:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
 ${TMPDIR}/work/${PACKAGE_ARCH}-poky-${TARGET_OS}/${PN}/${PV}-${PR}
                    </literallayout>
                    As an example, assume a
                    <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink> top-level
                    folder name <filename>poky</filename> and a default
                    <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>
                    at <filename>poky/build</filename>.
                    In this case, the working directory the build system uses to build
                    the <filename>v86d</filename> package is the following:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     ~/poky/build/tmp/work/qemux86-poky-linux/v86d/01.9-r0

                </para>

                <para>
                    For packages that are dependent on a particular machine, <filename>WORKDIR</filename>
                    is defined slightly different:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
 ${TMPDIR}/work/${MACHINE}-poky-${TARGET_OS}/${PN}/${PV}-${PR}
                    </literallayout>
                    As an example, again assume a Source Directory top-level folder
                    named <filename>poky</filename> and a default Build Directory
                    at <filename>poky/build</filename>.
                    In this case, the working directory the build system uses to build
                    the <filename>acl</filename> recipe, which is being built for a
                    MIPS-based device, is the following:
                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     ~/poky/build/tmp/work/mips-poky-linux/acl/2.2.51-r2
                    </literallayout>
