Executable file
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` |
