I want to learn how to use MSBuild ReadLinesFromFile Task

I observe Output tag in MSDN example.
In my project I also have Output/@PropertyName attribute.

I don’t have an idea which other attributes Output tag can accept.
Where can I find description of them?

I suppose I should see some inherited tasks or something like this.
Where it is? (I followed the links in the MSDN page, but it seems I missed something)
I don’t know MSBuild in depth and I don’t think I need it for my purposes, just want to find clear description of ReadLinesFromFile Task.

    Maybe only stating the obvious, the task only accepts (well by documentation anyway) the Lines output parameter, as documented, and shown in an example, on the page you have linked in your question.

    The “most clear” description you will find about the task is indeed the MSDN page.

    BTW, looking inside Microsoft.Build.Tasks.v4.0.dll, the ReadLinesFromFile task indeed only accepts the Lines output parameter.
