<p>
  <b>DISCLAIMER:</b>
  This is an experimental feature, expect breaking changes when
  implementing an <code>action_listener</code>/<code>extra_action</code>.
</p>

<p>
  An <code>action_listener</code> rule doesn't produce any output itself.
  Instead, it allows tool developers to insert
  <a href="${link extra_action}"><code>extra_action</code></a>s into the build system,
  by providing a mapping from action to <a href="${link extra_action}"><code>extra_action</code>
  </a>.
</p>

<p>
  This rule's arguments map action mnemonics to
  <a href="${link extra_action}"><code>extra_action</code></a> rules.
</p>

<p>
  By specifying the option <a href="${link user-manual.html#flag--experimental_action_listener}">
  <code>--experimental_action_listener=<label></code></a>,
  the build will use the specified <code>action_listener</code> to insert
  <a href="${link extra_action}"><code>extra_action</code></a>s into the build graph.
