The keyword arguments for this are the same as for [`executable`](#executable) with the following additions:
- `name_prefix` the string that will be used as the prefix for the
target output filename by overriding the default (only used for
libraries). By default this is `lib` on all platforms and compilers
except with MSVC where it is omitted to follow convention.
- `name_suffix` the string that will be used as the suffix for the
target by overriding the default (only used for libraries). By
default this is `lib` on all platforms and compilers except with
MSVC where it is omitted and set to `a` to avoid potential name clash
with shared libraries (which also generates `lib` files).
target output filename by overriding the default (see also:
[executable()](#executable)). By default, for shared libraries this
is `dylib` on macOS, `dll` on Windows, and `so` everywhere else.
For static libraries, it is `a` everywhere. By convention MSVC
static libraries use the `lib` suffix, but we use `a` to avoid a
potential name clash with shared libraries which also generate
`xxx.lib` import files.
- `rust_crate_type` specifies the crate type for Rust
libraries. Defaults to `dylib` for shared libraries and `rlib` for
static libraries.
