+ ""
+ "<p>It often happens that an action requires a large command line containing values "
+ "accumulated from transitive dependencies. For example, a linker command line might "
+ "list every object file needed by all of the libraries being linked. It is best "
+ "practice to store such transitive data in <a href='depset.html'><code>depset"
+ "</code></a>s, so that they can be shared by multiple targets. However, if the rule "
+ "author had to convert these depsets into lists of strings in order to construct an "
+ "action command line, it would defeat this memory-sharing optimization."
+ ""
+ "<p>For this reason, the action-constructing functions accept <code>Args</code> "
+ "objects in addition to strings. Each <code>Args</code> object represents a "
+ "concatenation of strings and depsets, with optional transformations for "
+ "manipulating the data. <code>Args</code> objects do not process the depsets they "
+ "encapsulate until the execution phase, when it comes time to calculate the command "
+ "line. This helps defer any expensive copying until after the analysis phase is "
+ "complete. See the <a href='../performance.$DOC_EXT'>Optimizing Performance</a> page "
+ "for more information."
+ ""
+ "<p><code>Args</code> are constructed by calling <a href='actions.html#args'><code>"
+ "ctx.actions.args()</code></a>. They can be passed as the <code>arguments</code> "
+ "parameter of <a href='actions.html#run'><code>ctx.actions.run()</code></a> or "
+ "<a href='actions.html#run_shell'><code>ctx.actions.run_shell()</code></a>. Each "
+ "mutation of an <code>Args</code> object appends values to the eventual command "
+ "line."
+ ""
+ "<p>The <code>map_each</code> feature allows you to customize how items are "
+ "transformed into strings. If you do not provide a <code>map_each</code> function, "
+ "the standard conversion is as follows: "
+ "<ul>"
+ "<li>Values that are already strings are left as-is."
+ "<li><a href='File.html'><code>File</code></a> objects are turned into their "
+ " <code>File.path</code> values."
+ "<li>All other types are turned into strings in an <i>unspecified</i> manner. For "
+ " this reason, you should avoid passing values that are not of string or "
+ " <code>File</code> type to <code>add()</code>, and if you pass them to "
+ " <code>add_all()</code> or <code>add_joined()</code> then you should provide a "
+ " <code>map_each</code> function."
+ "</ul>"
+ ""
+ "<p>When using string formatting (<code>format</code>, <code>format_each</code>, and "
+ "<code>format_joined</code> params of the <code>add*()</code> methods), the format "
+ "template is interpreted in the same way as <code>%</code>-substitution on strings, "
+ "except that the template must have exactly one substitution placeholder and it must "
+ "be <code>%s</code>. Literal percents may be escaped as <code>%%</code>. Formatting "
+ "is applied after the value is converted to a string as per the above."
+ ""
+ "<p>Each of the <code>add*()</code> methods have an alternate form that accepts an "
+ "extra positional parameter, an \"arg name\" string to insert before the rest of the "
+ "arguments. For <code>add_all</code> and <code>add_joined</code> the extra string "
+ "will not be added if the sequence turns out to be empty. "
+ "For instance, the same usage can add either <code>--foo val1 val2 val3 --bar"
+ "</code> or just <code>--bar</code> to the command line, depending on whether the "
+ "given sequence contains <code>val1..val3</code> or is empty."
+ ""
+ "<p>If the size of the command line can grow longer than the maximum size allowed by "
+ "the system, the arguments can be spilled over into parameter files. See "
+ "<a href='#use_param_file'><code>use_param_file()</code></a> and "
+ "<a href='#set_param_file_format'><code>set_param_file_format()</code></a>."
