What is the response-file? How is it used?

I'm looking for examples of:

generators.register-composing

I've found the archive targets for the msvc, como-win, cw,
compilers. 

I'm wondering what a common.response-file is. Is this something
that is only relevent to the C/C++ compiler targets.

Also, the examples discuss.

generators.register-standard

They do so, exclusively. I can see that if you put 

exe hello : usage.verbatim hello.cpp ;

That you can transform hello.verbatim to usage.cpp, how that
would hook.

But what if you have a type BAG that takes three files ?

exe hello : hello.cpp resources.bag ;
