Description

Runs fast build steps described by generated Ninja build files. It is often used behind tools such as CMake or Meson to execute many compile commands efficiently.

Use it when a project asks for Ninja or when a build generator emits build.ninja files. It is a build executor, not a full project configuration system by itself.
