Runfiles are a useful Bazel feature that allows for hermetic, cross-platform, language-agnostic access to runtime data dependencies. Many rulesets already provide convenience libraries that make accessing runfiles idiomatic in the respective languages.
This talk provides an example-based introduction to these runfiles libraries, taking into account changes included in Bazel 6 that make them work both with and without Bzlmod.
