Features are a combination of configuration fragments and patches.
Or, more accurately, configuration fragments and patches are
simple forms of a feature, which is a more complex metadata type.
In addition to the <filename>kconf</filename> and
<filename>patch</filename> commands, features often aggregate
description files with the <filename>include</filename> command.

A hypothetical example of a feature description file might look
like the following:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
features/myfeature.scc
define KFEATURE_DESCRIPTION "Enable myfeature"
patch 0001-myfeature-core.patch
patch 0002-myfeature-interface.patch
include cfg/myfeature_dependency.scc
kconf non-hardware myfeature.cfg
</literallayout>
</para>
<para>
Features are typically less granular than configuration
fragments and are more likely than configurations fragments
and patches to be the types of things you will want to specify
in the <filename>KERNEL_FEATURES</filename> variable of the
Linux kernel recipe.
