- The default set of directories BitBake
- uses when searching for patches and files.
- During the build process, BitBake searches each directory in
- <filename>FILESPATH</filename> in the specified order when
- looking for files and patches specified by each
- <filename>file://</filename> URI in a recipe.
+ Specifies directories BitBake uses when searching for
+ patches and files.
+ The "local" fetcher module uses these directories when
+ handling <filename>file://</filename> URLs.
+ The variable behaves like a shell <filename>PATH</filename>
+ environment variable.
+ The value is a colon-separated list of directories that
+ are searched left-to-right in order.
