-                <para>The <literal>inherit</literal> directive is a means of specifying what classes of functionality your .bb requires.  It is a rudimentary form of inheritance.  For example, you can easily abstract out the tasks involved in building a package that uses autoconf and automake, and put that into a bbclass for your packages to make use of.
