information in the similarly-named recipe file.
For an example of an append file in use, see the
"<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#using-bbappend-files'>Using .bbappend Files in Your Layer</ulink>"
section in the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual.
<note>
Append files can also use wildcard patterns in their
version numbers so they can be applied to more than one
version of the underlying recipe file.
section in the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual.</para>
<para>When you name an append file, you can use the
"<filename>%</filename>" wildcard character to allow for
matching recipe names.
For example, suppose you have an append file named as follows:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
busybox_1.21.%.bbappend
</literallayout>
That append file would match any
<filename>busybox_1.21.</filename><replaceable>x</replaceable><filename>.bb</filename>
version of the recipe.
So, the append file would match the following recipe names:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
busybox_1.21.1.bb
busybox_1.21.2.bb
busybox_1.21.3.bb
</literallayout>
<note><title>Important</title>
The use of the "<filename>%</filename>" character
is limited in that it only works directly in front of the
<filename>.bbappend</filename> portion of the append file's
name.
You cannot use the wildcard character in any other
location of the name.
