+`multi-inputs`:: print one or more sets of inputs required to build targets.
+Each line will consist of a target, a delimiter, an input and a terminator character.
+The list produced by the tool can be helpful if one would like to know which targets
+that are affected by a certain input.
++
+The output will be a series of lines with the following elements:
++
+----
+<target> <delimiter> <input> <terminator>
+----
++
+Example usage of the `multi-inputs` tool:
++
+----
+ninja -t multi-inputs target1 target2 target3
+----
++
+Example of produced output from the `multi-inputs` tool:
++
+----
+target1 file1.c
+target2 file1.c
+target2 file2.c
+target3 file1.c
+target3 file2.c
+target3 file3.c

+_Note that a given input may appear for several targets if it is used by more
+than one targets._

 `clean`:: remove built files. By default, it removes all built files
 except for those created by the generator.  Adding the `-g` flag also
 removes built files created by the generator (see <<ref_rule,the rule
