Executable File

## copy_file
<pre>
copy_file(<a href="#copy_file-name">name</a>, <a href="#copy_file-src">src</a>, <a href="#copy_file-out">out</a>, <a href="#copy_file-is_executable">is_executable</a>, <a href="#copy_file-kwargs">kwargs</a>)

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).
