<title>Using .bbappend Files</title>
<para>
Recipe append files (<filename>.bbappend</filename> type) allow your layer to make additions or
changes to the content of another layer's recipe without having to copy the other recipe into
your layer.
Your <filename>.bbappend</filename> file resides in your layer, while the underlying recipe
to which you are appending resides in a different layer.
Recipes used to append metadata to other recipes are called BitBake append files.
BitBake append files use the <filename>.bbappend</filename> file type suffix, while
underlying recipes to which metadata is being appended use the
<filename>.bb</filename> file type suffix.
