+Note also that if you want to perform some specific actions *after*
+all filesystem images have been created (for example to automatically
+extract your root filesystem tarball in a location exported by your
+NFS server, or to create a special firmware image that bundles your
+root filesystem and kernel image, or any other custom action), you can

++BR2_ROOTFS_POST_IMAGE_SCRIPT+ configuration option. Each of those
+scripts will be called, with the path to the +images+ output directory
+as first and unique argument, and will be executed with the main
+Buildroot source directory as the current directory. Also, just like
+for the _post-build scripts_ mentionned above, you also have access to
