  This target type allows you to run a script a single time to produce one or
  more output files. If you want to run a script once for each of a set of
  input files, see "gn help action_foreach".

Inputs

  In an action the "sources" and "inputs" are treated the same: they're both
  input dependencies on script execution with no special handling. If you want
  to pass the sources to your script, you must do so explicitly by including
  them in the "args". Note also that this means there is no special handling of
  paths since GN doesn't know which of the args are paths and not. You will
  want to use rebase_path() to convert paths to be relative to the
  root_build_dir.

  You can dynamically write input dependencies (for incremental rebuilds if an
  input file changes) by writing a depfile when the script is run (see "gn help
  depfile"). This is more flexible than "inputs".

  If the command line length is very long, you can use response files to pass
  args to your script. See "gn help response_file_contents".

  It is recommended you put inputs to your script in the "sources" variable,
  and stuff like other Python files required to run your script in the "inputs"
  variable.

  This target type allows you to run a script once-per-file over a set of

  "gn help action".

Inputs

  The script will be run once per file in the "sources" variable. The "outputs"
  variable should specify one or more files with a source expansion pattern in
  it (see "gn help source_expansion"). The output file(s) for each script
  invocation should be unique. Normally you use "{{source_name_part}}" in each
  output file.

  If your script takes additional data as input, such as a shared configuration
  file or a Python module it uses, those files should be listed in the "inputs"
  variable. These files are treated as dependencies of each script invocation.

  This target type allows to declare data that is required at runtime. It is

  The target must define a list of files as "sources" and a single "outputs".
  If there are multiple files, source expansions must be used to express the
  output. The output must reference a file inside of {{bundle_root_dir}}.

  This target can be used on all platforms though it is designed only to
  generate iOS/macOS bundle. In cross-platform projects, it is advised to put it
  behind iOS/macOS conditionals.

  This target generates an iOS or macOS bundle (which is a directory with a
  well-know structure). This target does not define any sources, instead they
  are computed from all "bundle_data" target this one depends on transitively
  (the recursion stops at "create_bundle" targets).

  The "bundle_*_dir" properties must be defined. They will be used for the
  expansion of {{bundle_*_dir}} rules in "bundle_data" outputs.

  This target can be used on all platforms though it is designed only to
  generate iOS or macOS bundle. In cross-platform projects, it is advised to put
  it behind iOS/macOS conditionals.

  If a create_bundle is specified as a data_deps for another target, the bundle
  is considered a leaf, and its public and private dependencies will not
  contribute to any data or data_deps. Required runtime dependencies should be
  placed in the bundle. A create_bundle can declare its own explicit data and
  data_deps, however.

Code signing

  Some bundle needs to be code signed as part of the build (on iOS all
  application needs to be code signed to run on a device). The code signature
  can be configured via the code_signing_script variable.

  If set, code_signing_script is the path of a script that invoked after all
  files have been moved into the bundle. The script must not change any file in
  the bundle, but may add new files.

  If code_signing_script is defined, then code_signing_outputs must also be
  defined and non-empty to inform when the script needs to be re-run. The
  code_signing_args will be passed as is to the script (so path have to be
  rebased) and additional inputs may be listed with the variable
  code_signing_sources.

File name handling

  All output files must be inside the output directory of the build. You would
  generally use |$target_out_dir| or |$target_gen_dir| to reference the output
  or generated intermediate file directories, respectively.

  Both "sources" and "outputs" must be specified. Sources can include as many
  files as you want, but there can only be one item in the outputs list (plural
  is used for the name for consistency with other target types).

  If there is more than one source file, your output name should specify a
  mapping from each source file to an output file name using source expansion
  (see "gn help source_expansion"). The placeholders will look like
  "{{source_name_part}}", for example.

Examples

  # Write a rule that copies a checked-in DLL to the output directory.
  copy("mydll") {
    sources = [ "mydll.dll" ]

  A source set is a collection of sources that get compiled, but are not linked
  to produce any kind of library. Instead, the resulting object files are
  implicitly added to the linker line of all targets that depend on the source
  set.

  In most cases, a source set will behave like a static library, except no
  actual library file will be produced. This will make the build go a little
  faster by skipping creation of a large static library, while maintaining the
  organizational benefits of focused build targets.

  The main difference between a source set and a static library is around
  handling of exported symbols. Most linkers assume declaring a function
  exported means exported from the static library. The linker can then do dead
  code elimination to delete code not reachable from exported functions.

  A source set will not do this code elimination since there is no link step.
  This allows you to link many source sets into a shared library and have the
  "exported symbol" notation indicate "export from the final shared library and
  not from the intermediate targets." There is no way to express this concept
  when linking multiple static libraries into a shared library.

  target(target_type_string, target_name_string) { ... }

  The target() function is a way to invoke a built-in target or template with a
  type determined at runtime. This is useful for cases where the type of a
  target might not be known statically.

  Only templates and built-in target functions are supported for the
  target_type_string parameter. Arbitrary functions, configs, and toolchains
  are not supported.

  The call:
    target("source_set", "doom_melon") {
  Is equivalent to:
    source_set("doom_melon") {

Example

  if (foo_build_as_shared) {
    my_type = "shared_library"
  } else {
    my_type = "source_set"
  }

  target(my_type, "foo") {

  Writes data value(s) to disk on resolution. This target type mirrors some
  functionality of the write_file() function, but also provides the ability to
  collect metadata from its dependencies on resolution rather than writing out
  parse time.

  The `outputs` variable is required to be a list with a single element,
  specifying the intended location of the output file.

  The `output_conversion` variable specified the format to write the
  value. See `gn help output_conversion`.

  One of `contents` or `data_keys` must be specified; use of `data` will write
  the contents of that value to file, while use of `data_keys` will trigger a
  metadata collection walk based on the dependencies of the target and the
  optional values of the `rebase` and `walk_keys` variables. See
  `gn help metadata`.

  Collected metadata, if specified, will be returned in postorder of
  dependencies. See the example for details.

Example (metadata collection)

  Given the following targets defined in //base/BUILD.gn, where A depends on B
  and B depends on C and D:

    group("a") {
      metadata = {
        doom_melon = [ "enable" ]
        my_files = [ "foo.cpp" ]

        // Note: this is functionally equivalent to not defining `my_barrier`
        // at all in this target's metadata.
        my_barrier = [ "" ]
      }

      deps = [ ":b" ]
    }

    group("c") {
      metadata = {
        my_files = [ "bar.cpp" ]
        my_barrier = [ ":c" ]
      }

      deps = [ ":c", ":d" ]
    }

    group("c") {
      metadata = {
        doom_melon = [ "disable" ]
        my_files = [ "baz.cpp" ]
      }
    }

    group("d") {
      metadata = {
        my_files = [ "missing.cpp" ]
      }
    }

  If the following generated_file target is defined:

    generated_file("my_files_metadata") {
      outputs = [ "$root_build_dir/my_files.json" ]
      data_keys = [ "my_files" ]

      deps = [ "//base:a" ]
    }

  The following will be written to "$root_build_dir/my_files.json" (less the
  comments):
    [
      "baz.cpp",  // from //base:c via //base:b
      "missing.cpp"  // from //base:d via //base:b
      "bar.cpp",  // from //base:b via //base:a
      "foo.cpp",  // from //base:a
    ]

  Alternatively, as an example of using walk_keys, if the following
  generated_file target is defined:

  generated_file("my_files_metadata") {
    outputs = [ "$root_build_dir/my_files.json" ]
    data_keys = [ "my_files" ]
    walk_keys = [ "my_barrier" ]

    deps = [ "//base:a" ]
  }

  The following will be written to "$root_build_dir/my_files.json" (again less
  the comments):
    [
      "baz.cpp",  // from //base:c via //base:b
      "bar.cpp",  // from //base:b via //base:a
      "foo.cpp",  // from //base:a
    ]

  If `rebase` is used in the following generated_file target:

  generated_file("my_files_metadata") {
    outputs = [ "$root_build_dir/my_files.json" ]
    data_keys = [ "my_files" ]
    walk_keys = [ "my_barrier" ]
    rebase = root_build_dir

    deps = [ "//base:a" ]
  }

  The following will be written to "$root_build_dir/my_files.json" (again less
  the comments) (assuming root_build_dir = "//out"):
    [
      "../base/baz.cpp",  // from //base:c via //base:b
      "../base/bar.cpp",  // from //base:b via //base:a
      "../base/foo.cpp",  // from //base:a
