An extension represents a sub-directory under the “ext” directory in the project. Such a directory contains source files, usually written in C, that interface with the underlying Ruby implementation, and possibly other low-level systems, that aren’t otherwise available to Ruby code.

For an inventory, an extension is a set of files that should be included in the project and can contain multiple extensions. Inventory-Rake uses information found in these extensions to compile them for use from Ruby code.
