+A rule that copies a directory to another place.
+
+The rule uses a Bash command on Linux/macOS/non-Windows, and a cmd.exe command
+on Windows (no Bash is required).

+## copy_directory

+</pre>
+
+Copies a directory to another location.
+
+This rule uses a Bash command on Linux/macOS/non-Windows, and a cmd.exe command on Windows (no Bash is required).
+
+If using this rule with source directories, it is recommended that you use the
+`--host_jvm_args=-DBAZEL_TRACK_SOURCE_DIRECTORIES=1` startup option so that changes
+to files within source directories are detected. See
+https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/commit/c64421bc35214f0414e4f4226cc953e8c55fa0d2
+for more context.

+
+| Name  | Description | Default Value |
+| :------------- | :------------- | :------------- |
+| <a id="copy_directory-name"></a>name |  Name of the rule.   |  none |
+| <a id="copy_directory-src"></a>src |  The directory to make a copy of. Can be a source directory or TreeArtifact.   |  none |
+| <a id="copy_directory-out"></a>out |  Path of the output directory, relative to this package.   |  none |
+| <a id="copy_directory-kwargs"></a>kwargs |  further keyword arguments, e.g. <code>visibility</code>   |  none |

+</pre>
+
+Helper function that creates an action to copy a directory from src to dst.
+
+This helper is used by copy_directory. It is exposed as a public API so it can be used within
+other rule implementations.
+
+
+**PARAMETERS**
+
+
+| Name  | Description | Default Value |
+| :------------- | :------------- | :------------- |
+| <a id="copy_directory_action-ctx"></a>ctx |  The rule context.   |  none |
+| <a id="copy_directory_action-src"></a>src |  The directory to make a copy of. Can be a source directory or TreeArtifact.   |  none |
+| <a id="copy_directory_action-dst"></a>dst |  The directory to copy to. Must be a TreeArtifact.   |  none |
+| <a id="copy_directory_action-is_windows"></a>is_windows |  If true, an cmd.exe action is created so there is no bash dependency.   |  <code>False</code> |
