While some of these terms are universal, the list includes them just in case:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para><emphasis>Append Files:</emphasis> Files that append build information to
a recipe file.
Information in append files overrides the information in the similarly-named recipe file.
Append files use the <filename>.bbappend</filename> filename suffix.
</para></listitem>
a recipe file.
Append files are known as BitBake append files and <filename>.bbappend</filename> files.
The Yocto Project build system expects every append file to have a corresponding and
underlying recipe (<filename>.bb</filename>) file.
Furthermore, the append file and the underlying recipe must have the same root filename.
The filenames can differ only in the file type suffix used (e.g.
<filename>formfactor_0.0.bb</filename> and <filename>formfactor_0.0.bbappend</filename>).
</para>
<para>Information in append files overrides the information in the similarly-named recipe file.
For examples of <filename>.bbappend</filename> file in use, see the
