API Documentation: | `HeaderExportingSourceSet`

Known Subtypes: |
`CSourceSet` | `ObjectiveCSourceSet` | `WindowsResourceSet`
`CppSourceSet` | `ObjectiveCppSourceSet` |

Note: This class is incubating and may change in a future version of Gradle.

A source set that exposes headers

### Properties

Property | Description
`buildDependencies` | Returns a dependency which contains the tasks which build this artifact. All `Buildable` implementations must ensure that the returned dependency object is live, so that it tracks changes to the dependencies of this buildable.
`buildTask` | Incubating The 'lifecycle' task associated with the construction of this element.
`exportedHeaders` | Incubating The headers as a directory set.
`source` | Incubating The source files.

### Methods

Method | Description
`builtBy(tasks)` | Incubating Adds a task that is required for the construction of this element. A task added this way is then added as a dependency of the associated lifecycle task.
`exportedHeaders(config)` | Incubating Configure the exported header directories.
`source(config)` | Incubating Configure the sources
