+# READ-IN FILES
+Some sections, such as *%files* manifests or transaction scriptlets, can have (a
+part of) their contents generated on-the-fly during the build, written to a file
+on disk and finally read in using the *-f* _FILE_ option.

Oh interesting :laughing: I never thought about that use case, for a change. But it also does make sense.

I wonder what the original intention of this feature (for scriptlets) was, really. I think I even tried to trace it back in the git history but it dated back to some very old CVS commit, without much background info, IIRC...
