-savestdout
-==========
-
-`savestdout` is a small tool to save the stdout of a command to a file, without using
-a shell.
-
-It was made to be used in Bazel rule definitions that want to run a command and save
-its output to stdout without going through `ctx.actions.run\_shell`.
-
-Once [bazelbuild/bazel/issues/5511](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/5511)
-gets fixed, rules that need this behaviour can start using native Bazel functionality
-instead, and this tool should be deleted.
-
-Usage
------
-
-Command line usage:
-
-    bazel build //build/savestdout
-    bazel run bazel-bin/build/savestdout/*/savestdout /tmp/foo ps aux
-
-For an example of use in rules, see `node_initramfs` in `//code/def.bzl`.
