"""This script is a wrapper around the GN binary that is pulled from Google
Cloud Storage when you sync Chrome. The binaries go into platform-specific
subdirectories in the source tree.

This script makes there be one place for forwarding to the correct platform's
binary. It will also automatically try to find the gn binary when run inside
the chrome source tree, so users can just type "gn" on the command line
(normally depot_tools is on the path)."""
