zig/lib/std/Build/WriteFileStep.zig

//! WriteFileStep is primarily used to create a directory in an appropriate
//! location inside the local cache which has a set of files that have either
//! been generated during the build, or are copied from the source package.
//!
//! However, this step has an additional capability of writing data to paths
//! relative to the package root, effectively mutating the package's source
//! files. Be careful with the latter functionality; it should not be used
//! during the normal build process, but as a utility run by a developer with
//! intention to update source files, which will then be committed to version
//! control.
