Generates a UTF-8 encoded params file from a list of arguments.
Handles variable substitutions for args.
### **Parameters**
| Name | Description | Default Value |
| :------------- | :------------- | :------------- |
| <a id="params_file-name"></a>name | Name of the rule. | none |
| <a id="params_file-out"></a>out | Path of the output file, relative to this package. | none |
| <a id="params_file-args"></a>args | Arguments to concatenate into a params file. Subject to 'Make variable' substitution. See https://docs.bazel.build/versions/main/be/make-variables.html. <ol> <li> Subject to predefined source/output path variables substitutions. The predefined variables `execpath`, `execpaths`, `rootpath`, `rootpaths`, `location`, and `locations` take label parameters (e.g. `$(execpath //foo:bar)`) and substitute the file paths denoted by that label. See https://docs.bazel.build/versions/main/be/make-variables.html#predefined_label_variables for more info. NB: This $(location) substition returns the manifest file path which differs from the `*_binary` & `*_test` args and genrule bazel substitions. This will be fixed in a future major release. See docs string of `expand_location_into_runfiles` macro in `internal/common/expand_into_runfiles.bzl` for more info.</li> <li>Subject to predefined variables & custom variable substitutions. Predefined "Make" variables such as `$(COMPILATION_MODE)` and `$(TARGET_CPU)` are expanded. See https://docs.bazel.build/versions/main/be/make-variables.html#predefined_variables. Custom variables are also expanded including variables set through the Bazel CLI with `--define=SOME_VAR=SOME_VALUE`. See https://docs.bazel.build/versions/main/be/make-variables.html#custom_variables. Predefined genrule variables are not supported in this context.</li> </ol> | <code>[]</code> |
| <a id="params_file-data"></a>data | Data for <code>$(location)</code> expansions in args. | <code>[]</code> |
| <a id="params_file-newline"></a>newline | Line endings to use. One of [`"auto"`, `"unix"`, `"windows"`]. <ul> <li>`"auto"` for platform-determined</li> <li>`"unix"` for LF</li> <li>`"windows"` for CRLF</li> </ul> | <code>"auto"</code> |
| <a id="params_file-kwargs"></a>kwargs | undocumented named arguments | none |
