# Package Node

source code

SCons.Node

The Node package for the SCons software construction utility.

This is, in many ways, the heart of SCons.

A Node is where we encapsulate all of the dependency information about any thing that SCons can build, or about any thing which SCons can use to build some other thing. The canonical "thing," of course, is a file, but a Node can also represent something remote (like a web page) or something completely abstract (like an Alias).

Each specific type of "thing" is specifically represented by a subclass of the Node base class: Node.FS.File for files, Node.Alias for aliases, etc. Dependency information is kept here in the base class, and information specific to files/aliases/etc. is in the subclass. The goal, if we've done this correctly, is that any type of "thing" should be able to depend on any other type of "thing."
