// The Bazel Output Service may be used by users of the Remote Execution API to
// construct a directory on the local system that contains all output files of a
// build.
//
// Primitive implementations of this API may simply download files from the
// Content Addressable Storage (CAS) and store them at their designated
// location. Complex implementations may use a pseudo file system (e.g., FUSE)
// to support deduplication, lazy loading and snapshotting.
