<para>
The items below are features you can use with
<link linkend='var-DISTRO_FEATURES'><filename>DISTRO_FEATURES</filename></link>.
Features do not have a one-to-one correspondence to packages, and they can
go beyond simply controlling the installation of a package or packages.
Sometimes a feature can influence how certain recipes are built.
For example, a feature might determine whether a particular configure option
is specified within <filename>do_configure</filename> for a particular
recipe.
<link linkend='var-DISTRO_FEATURES'><filename>DISTRO_FEATURES</filename></link>
to enable features across your distribution.
Features do not have a one-to-one correspondence to packages,
and they can go beyond simply controlling the installation of a
package or packages.
In most cases, the presence or absence of a feature translates to
the appropriate option supplied to the configure script during
<filename>do_configure</filename> for the recipes that optionally
support the feature.

<para>
Some distro features are also machine features.
This select list of features makes sense to be controlled both at
the machine and distribution configuration level.
See the
<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-COMBINED_FEATURES'><filename>COMBINED_FEATURES</filename></ulink>
variable for more information.
