+"""Merges two non-dist partial builds together.
+
+Given two partial builds, a framework build and a vendor build, merge the builds
+together so that the images can be flashed using 'fastboot flashall'.
+
+To support both DAP and non-DAP vendor builds with a single framework partial
+build, the framework partial build should always be built with DAP enabled. The
+vendor partial build determines whether the merged result supports DAP.
+
+This script does not require builds to be built with 'make dist'.
+This script assumes that images other than super_empty.img do not require
+regeneration, including vbmeta images.
+TODO(b/137853921): Add support for regenerating vbmeta images.
+
+Usage: merge_builds.py [args]

+      build.
