+                    When a recipe inherits the
+                    <filename>binconfig.bbclass</filename> class, this variable
+                    specifies additional arguments passed to the "sed" command.
+                    The sed command alters any paths in configuration scripts
+                    that have been set up during compilation.
+                    This alteration ensures the commands are correct for use
+                    when installed into the sysroot and called by the build
+                    processes of other recipes.
