# Looks just like a generated_file() target but $outputs is like resource().
#
# A generated_resource() target is like a resource() target whose $sources
# matches the $outputs of a generated_file() target, but rolled into one.
# Using $data_deps to this generated_resource() target in each target whose
# code uses $outputs at runtime ensures that the files will be present on
# the system.  The files can have fixed contents given directly in the
# target or be generated from metadata collection, as in generated_file().
#
# Parameters
#
#   outputs
#     Required: See resource.gni.
#
# See generated_file() for other parameters.
