Layer creation using script

We should always start with something easy, in order to keep things simple. So, a simple way to create a layer is to execute the following command from the script directory, under the poky directory:

$  ./scripts/yocto-layer create test

This will create a directory named meta-test in the poky directory, from where we invoke this command. However, before that, you have to answer some questions. The answers are discussed in these steps:

Enter the layer priority you'd like to use for this layer: [default: 6] 7
Check whether you would like to have an example recipe created: (y/n) [default: n]
Check whether you would you like to have an example bbappend file created: (y/n) [default: n] y
Enter the name you'd like to use for your bbappend file: [default: example] helloworld
Enter the version number you'd like to use for your bbappend file, (this should match the recipe you're appending the file to): [default: 0.1]

Then, this script will notify us about...
