// 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:
+// core-libart{.dexjar} -> javalib/core-libart.jar
+// it will return something like this:
+// core-libart{.dexjar} -> 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`.
