| <p> |
| The default outputs and runfiles of targets in the <code>data</code> attribute |
| should appear in the <code>*.runfiles</code> area of any executable which is |
| output by or has a runtime dependency on this target. This may include data |
| files or binaries used when this target's |
| <a href="#typical.srcs"><code>srcs</code></a> are executed. See the |
| <a href="../build-ref.html#data">data dependencies</a> section for more |
| information about how to depend on and use data files. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| New rules should define a <code>data</code> attribute if they process |
| inputs which might use other inputs at runtime. Rules' implementation functions |
| must also <a href="../skylark/rules.html#runfiles">populate the target's |
| runfiles</a> from the outputs and runfiles of any <code>data</code> attribute, |
| as well as runfiles from any dependency attribute which provides either |
| source code or runtime dependencies. |
