"""
Used in .bb files to split up dynamically generated subpackages of a
given package, usually plugins or modules.
+
+ Arguments:
+ root -- the path in which to search
+ file_regex -- regular expression to match searched files. Use
+ parentheses () to mark the part of this expression
+ that should be used to derive the module name (to be
+ substituted where %s is used in other function
+ arguments as noted below)
+ output_pattern -- pattern to use for the package names. Must include %s.
+ description -- description to set for each package. Must include %s.
+ postinst -- postinstall script to use for all packages (as a
+ string)
+ recursive -- True to perform a recursive search - default False
+ hook -- a hook function to be called for every match. The
+ function will be called with the following arguments
+ (in the order listed):
+ f: full path to the file/directory match
+ pkg: the package name
+ file_regex: as above
+ output_pattern: as above
+ modulename: the module name derived using file_regex
+ extra_depends -- extra runtime dependencies (RDEPENDS) to be set for
+ all packages. The default value of None causes a
+ dependency on the main package (${PN}) - if you do
+ not want this, pass '' for this parameter.
+ aux_files_pattern -- extra item(s) to be added to FILES for each
+ package. Can be a single string item or a list of
+ strings for multiple items. Must include %s.
+ postrm -- postrm script to use for all packages (as a string)
+ allow_dirs -- True allow directories to be matched - default False
+ prepend -- if True, prepend created packages to PACKAGES instead
+ of the default False which appends them
+ match_path -- match file_regex on the whole relative path to the
+ root rather than just the file name
+ aux_files_pattern_verbatim -- extra item(s) to be added to FILES for
+ each package, using the actual derived module name
+ rather than converting it to something legal for a
+ package name. Can be a single string item or a list
+ of strings for multiple items. Must include %s.
+ allow_links -- True to allow symlinks to be matched - default False
+
