+"""Wipes out a directory recursively and then touches a stamp file.
+
+This odd pairing of operations is used to support build scripts which
+slurp up entire directories (e.g. build/android/javac.py when handling
+generated sources) as inputs.
+
+The general pattern of use is:
+
+  - Add a target which generates |gen_sources| into |out_path| from |inputs|.
+  - Include |stamp_file| as an input for that target or any of its rules which
+    generate files in |out_path|.
+  - Add an action which depends on |inputs| and which outputs |stamp_file|;
+    the action should run this script and pass |out_path| and |stamp_file| as
+    its arguments.
+
+The net result is that you will force |out_path| to be wiped and all
+|gen_sources| to be regenerated any time any file in |inputs| changes.
+
+See //third_party/mojo/mojom_bindings_generator.gypi for an example use case.
