copy_file

copy_file(name, src, out, is_executable, kwargs)

Copies a file to another location.

native.genrule() is sometimes used to copy files (often wishing to rename them). The 'copy_file' rule does this with a simpler interface than genrule.

This rule uses a Bash command on Linux/macOS/non-Windows, and a cmd.exe command on Windows (no Bash is required).

Parameters

name	required. Name of the rule.
src	required. A Label. The file to make a copy of. (Can also be the label of a rule that generates a file.)
out	required. Path of the output file, relative to this package.
is_executable	optional. default is False A boolean. Whether to make the output file executable. When True, the rule's output can be executed using `bazel run` and can be in the srcs of binary and test rules that require executable sources.
kwargs	optional. further keyword arguments, e.g. `visibility`
