1830 This variable tells the OpenEmbedded build system which bits to pull
1831 in for the build and how to pull them in.
1832 For example, if the recipe only needs to fetch a tarball from the
1833 internet, the recipe uses a single <filename>SRC_URI</filename> entry.
1834 On the other hand, if the recipe needs to fetch a tarball, apply
1835 two patches, and include a custom file, the recipe would include four
1836 instances of the variable.</para>
1837 <para>The following list explains the available URI protocols:
1838 <itemizedlist>
1839 <listitem><para><emphasis><filename>file://</filename> -</emphasis> Fetches files, which is usually
1840 a file shipped with the metadata, from the local machine.
1841 The path is relative to the
1842 <link linkend='var-FILESPATH'><filename>FILESPATH</filename></link>
1843 variable.
1844 Thus, the build system searches, in order, from the following directories,
1845 which are assumed to be a subdirectories of the directory in which the
1846 recipe file resides:
1847 <itemizedlist>
1848 <listitem><para><emphasis><filename>${PN}</filename> -</emphasis> The package name
1849 with any special suffix (i.e. <filename>bash-native</filename>,
