+# Macro that builds the needed Makefile target to create a root
+# filesystem image.
+#
+# The following variable must be defined before calling this macro
+#
+# ROOTFS_$(FSTYPE)_CMD, the command that generates the root
+# filesystem image. A single command is allowed. The filename of the
+# filesystem image that it must generate is $$@.
+#
+# The following variables can optionaly be defined
+#
+# ROOTFS_$(FSTYPE)_DEPENDENCIES, the list of dependencies needed to
+# build the root filesystem (usually host tools)
+#
+# ROOTFS_$(FSTYPE)_PRE_GEN_HOOKS, a list of hooks to call before
+# generating the filesystem image
+#
+# ROOTFS_$(FSTYPE)_POST_GEN_HOOKS, a list of hooks to call after
+# generating the filesystem image
+#
+# In terms of configuration option, this macro assumes that the
+# BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_$(FSTYPE) config option allows to enable/disable
+# the generation of a filesystem image of a particular type. If
+# configura options BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_$(FSTYPE)_GZIP,
+# BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_$(FSTYPE)_BZIP2 or
+# BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_$(FSTYPE)_LZMA exist and are enabled, then the
+# macro will automatically generate a compressed filesystem image.
