// Provides support for interacting with the `deapexer` module to which a `prebuilt_apex` module
// will delegate the work to export files from a prebuilt '.apex` file.
//
// The actual processing that is done is quite convoluted but it is all about combining information
// from multiple different sources in order to allow a prebuilt module to use a file extracted from
// an apex file. As follows:
//
// 1. A prebuilt module, e.g. prebuilt_bootclasspath_fragment or java_import needs to use a file
//    from a prebuilt_apex/apex_set. It knows the path of the file within the apex but does not know
//    where the apex file is or what apex to use.
//
// 2. The connection between the prebuilt module and the prebuilt_apex/apex_set is created through
//    use of an exported_... property on the latter. That causes four things to occur:
//    a. A `deapexer` mopdule is created by the prebuilt_apex/apex_set to extract files from the
//       apex file.
//    b. A dependency is added from the prebuilt_apex/apex_set modules onto the prebuilt modules
//       listed in those properties.
//    c. An APEX variant is created for each of those prebuilt modules.
//    d. A dependency is added from the prebuilt modules to the `deapexer` module.
//
// 3. The prebuilt_apex/apex_set modules do not know which files are available in the apex file.
//    That information could be specified on the prebuilt_apex/apex_set modules but without
//    automated generation of those modules it would be expensive to maintain. So, instead they
//    obtain that information from the prebuilt modules. They do not know what files are actually in
//    the apex file either but they know what files they need from it. So, the
//    prebuilt_apex/apex_set modules obtain the files that should be in the apex file from those
//    modules and then pass those onto the `deapexer` module.
//
// 4. The `deapexer` module's ninja rule extracts all the files from the apex file into an output
//    directory and checks that all the expected files are there. The expected files are declared as
//    the outputs of the ninja rule so they are available to other modules.
//
// 5. The prebuilt modules then retrieve the paths to the files that they needed from the `deapexer`
//    module.
//
// The files that are passed to `deapexer` and those that are passed back have a unique identifier
// that links them together. e.g. If the `deapexer` is passed something like this:
//     javalib/core-libart.jar -> javalib/core-libart.jar
// it will return something like this:
//     javalib/core-libart.jar -> out/soong/.....deapexer.../javalib/core-libart.jar
//
// The reason why the `deapexer` module is separate from the prebuilt_apex/apex_set is to avoid
// cycles. e.g.
//   prebuilt_apex "com.android.art" depends upon java_import "core-libart":
//       This is so it can create an APEX variant of the latter and obtain information about the
//       files that it needs from the apex file.
//   java_import "core-libart" depends upon `deapexer` module:
//       This is so it can retrieve the paths to the files it needs.

// The information exported by the `deapexer` module, access it using `DeapxerInfoProvider`.
