1<!-- Generated with Stardoc: http://skydoc.bazel.build --> 2 3A rule that writes a UTF-8 encoded text file from user-specified contents. 4 5native.genrule() is sometimes used to create a text file. The 'write_file' and 6macro does this with a simpler interface than genrule. 7 8The rules generated by the macro do not use Bash or any other shell to write the 9file. Instead they use Starlark's built-in file writing action 10(ctx.actions.write). 11 12 13<a id="#write_file"></a> 14 15## write_file 16 17<pre> 18write_file(<a href="#write_file-name">name</a>, <a href="#write_file-out">out</a>, <a href="#write_file-content">content</a>, <a href="#write_file-is_executable">is_executable</a>, <a href="#write_file-newline">newline</a>, <a href="#write_file-kwargs">kwargs</a>) 19</pre> 20 21Creates a UTF-8 encoded text file. 22 23**PARAMETERS** 24 25 26| Name | Description | Default Value | 27| :------------- | :------------- | :------------- | 28| <a id="write_file-name"></a>name | Name of the rule. | none | 29| <a id="write_file-out"></a>out | Path of the output file, relative to this package. | none | 30| <a id="write_file-content"></a>content | A list of strings.
