+# MB - The Meta-Build wrapper |
+ |
+MB is a simple wrapper intended to provide a uniform interface to either |
+GYP or GN, such that users and bots can call one script and not need to |
+worry about whether a given bot is meant to use GN or GYP. |
+ |
+It supports two main functions: |
+ |
+1. "gen" - the main `gyp_chromium` / `gn gen` invocation that generates the |
+ Ninja files needed for the build. |
+ |
+2. "analyze" - the step that takes a list of modified files and a list of |
+ desired targets and reports which targets will need to be rebuilt. |
+ |
+We also use MB as a forcing function to collect all of the different |
+build configurations that we actually support for Chromium builds into |
+one place, in `//tools/mb/mb_config.pyl`. |
+ |
