33 A plugin for the Google protocol buffer compiler to generate Go code.
34 Run it by building this program and putting it in your path with the name
35 protoc-gen-go
36 That word 'go' at the end becomes part of the option string set for the
37 protocol compiler, so once the protocol compiler (protoc) is installed
38 you can run
39 protoc --go_out=output_directory input_directory/file.proto
40 to generate Go bindings for the protocol defined by file.proto.
41 With that input, the output will be written to
42 output_directory/file.pb.go
43
44 The generated code is documented in the package comment for
45 the library.
