-This file defines a set of feature flags, which can be accessed using the
-Feature Registry API. </p> <p>The configuration file generated by the <codeph>ROMBUILD</codeph> tool
-can be used to produce emulators specific to a particular ROM image using

-<section><title>Description</title> <p>The main purpose of the Feature Registry
-is to provide a public API for querying whether managed Symbian platform features
-are supported on a device. </p> <p>Feature information is sourced from a configuration
-file, which lists the status of features on the device. This configuration
-file is created by the <xref href="GUID-003D2C5B-09DC-5BD1-AF45-A0FCB56F567B.dita">ROMBUILD</xref> tool. </p> <p>A
-notification API is also provided for future enhancements in which the Feature
-Registry is able to be updated during run-time. </p> <p><b>Features</b> </p> <p>A <i>feature</i> is a section of the Symbian platform API and its underlying
-implementation, which accomplishes one or more useful tasks. Not all features
-are supported on all Symbian platform devices. Some will be absent (unsupported)
-because they are designated as optional features (sometimes referred to as
-managed features) and device manufacturers have chosen not to include them
-on a device. Others will be unavailable because they were added as part of
-a later OS release or are UI-specific. </p> <p><b>Feature Management</b> </p> <p> <i>Feature Management</i> is the overall
-process, which controls how parts of Symbian platform are designated as <i>features</i>,
-given unique identifiers and tracked for inclusion or exclusion during the
-ROM-build process. The Feature Registry is an Application Programming Interface
-(API) to the Feature Management process, permitting applications to find out
-what features are available on the device at run-time. It is used by developers
-to find out whether optional features are supported on the device, prior to
-using them. </p> </section>
