+** Targets versus Files: The Stage
+
+When invoking the ~build~ command, we had to specify the target ~greeter~,
+not the output file ~out.txt~. While other build systems allow requests
+specifying an output file, for /justbuild/ this would conflict with a
+fundamental design principle: staging; each target has its own logical
+output space, the "stage", where it can put its artifacts. We can, without
+any problem, add a second target also generating a file ~out.txt~.

+As we only request targets, no conflicts arise.

+Hello World

+#+END_SRC
+
+While one normally tries to design targets in such a way that they
+don't have conflicting files if they should be used together, it is
+up to the receiving target to decide what to do with those artifacts.
+A built-in rule allowing to rearrange artifacts is ~"install"~; a
+detailed description of this rule can be found in the documentation.
+In the simple case of a target producing precisely one file, the
+argument ~"files"~ can be used to map that file to a new location.
