Native rules are available globally in BUILD files. In .bzl files, you can find them in the `native` module. For non-native Starlark rules that ship separately from Bazel, see the list of [recommended rules](/versions/7.7.1/rules/rules#recommended-rules). ### Language-specific native rules | Language | Binary rules | Library rules | Test rules | Other rules | | --------------- | ----------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Android | [android\_binary](android#android_binary) | [aar\_import](android#aar_import) [android\_library](android#android_library) | [android\_instrumentation\_test](android#android_instrumentation_test) [android\_local\_test](android#android_local_test) | [android\_device](android#android_device) [android\_ndk\_repository](android#android_ndk_repository) [android\_sdk\_repository](android#android_sdk_repository) | | C / C++ | [cc\_binary](c-cpp#cc_binary) | [cc\_import](c-cpp#cc_import) [cc\_library](c-cpp#cc_library) [cc\_proto\_library](c-cpp#cc_proto_library) [cc\_shared\_library](c-cpp#cc_shared_library) [cc\_static\_library](c-cpp#cc_static_library) [fdo\_prefetch\_hints](c-cpp#fdo_prefetch_hints) [fdo\_profile](c-cpp#fdo_profile) [memprof\_profile](c-cpp#memprof_profile) [propeller\_optimize](c-cpp#propeller_optimize) | [cc\_test](c-cpp#cc_test) | [cc\_toolchain](c-cpp#cc_toolchain) [cc\_toolchain\_suite](c-cpp#cc_toolchain_suite) | | Java | [java\_binary](java#java_binary) | [java\_import](java#java_import) [java\_library](java#java_library) [java\_lite\_proto\_library](java#java_lite_proto_library) [java\_proto\_library](java#java_proto_library) | [java\_test](java#java_test) | [java\_package\_configuration](java#java_package_configuration) [java\_plugin](java#java_plugin) [java\_runtime](java#java_runtime) [java\_toolchain](java#java_toolchain) | | Objective-C | | [j2objc\_library](objective-c#j2objc_library) [objc\_import](objective-c#objc_import) [objc\_library](objective-c#objc_library) | | [available\_xcodes](objective-c#available_xcodes) [xcode\_config](objective-c#xcode_config) [xcode\_version](objective-c#xcode_version) | | Protocol Buffer | | [proto\_lang\_toolchain](protocol-buffer#proto_lang_toolchain) [proto\_library](protocol-buffer#proto_library) | | | | Python | [py\_binary](python#py_binary) | [py\_library](python#py_library) | [py\_test](python#py_test) | [py\_runtime](python#py_runtime) | | Shell | [sh\_binary](shell#sh_binary) | [sh\_library](shell#sh_library) | [sh\_test](shell#sh_test) | | ### Language-agnostic native rules | Family | Rules | | ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Extra Actions | \* [action\_listener](extra-actions#action_listener)\* [extra\_action](extra-actions#extra_action) | | General | \* [alias](general#alias)\* [config\_setting](general#config_setting)\* [filegroup](general#filegroup)\* [genquery](general#genquery)\* [genrule](general#genrule)\* [starlark\_doc\_extract](general#starlark_doc_extract)\* [test\_suite](general#test_suite) | | Platforms and Toolchains | \* [constraint\_setting](platforms-and-toolchains#constraint_setting)\* [constraint\_value](platforms-and-toolchains#constraint_value)\* [platform](platforms-and-toolchains#platform)\* [toolchain](platforms-and-toolchains#toolchain)\* [toolchain\_type](platforms-and-toolchains#toolchain_type) | | Workspace | \* [bind](workspace#bind)\* [local\_repository](workspace#local_repository)\* [new\_local\_repository](workspace#new_local_repository) |
