// protoc (aka the Protocol Compiler) can be extended via plugins. A plugin is
// just a program that reads a CodeGeneratorRequest from stdin and writes a
// CodeGeneratorResponse to stdout.
//
// Plugins written using C++ can use google/protobuf/compiler/plugin.h instead
// of dealing with the raw protocol defined here.
//
// A plugin executable needs only to be placed somewhere in the path. The
// plugin should be named "protoc-gen-$NAME", and will then be used when the
// flag "--${NAME}_out" is passed to protoc.

// in the FileDescriptorProtos and handle them one by one rather than read
// the entire set into memory at once. However, as of this writing, this
// is not similarly optimized on protoc's end -- it will store all fields in
// memory at once before sending them to the plugin.

message File {
// The file name, relative to the output directory. The name must not
// contain "." or ".." components and must be relative, not be absolute (so,
// the file cannot lie outside the output directory). "/" must be used as
// the path separator, not "\".
//
// If the name is omitted, the content will be appended to the previous
// file. This allows the generator to break large files into small chunks,
// and allows the generated text to be streamed back to protoc so that large
// files need not reside completely in memory at one time. Note that as of
// this writing protoc does not optimize for this -- it will read the entire
// CodeGeneratorResponse before writing files to disk.
optional string name = 1;
// If non-empty, indicates that the named file should already exist, and the
// content here is to be inserted into that file at a defined insertion
// point. This feature allows a code generator to extend the output
// produced by another code generator. The original generator may provide
// insertion points by placing special annotations in the file that look
// like:
// @@protoc_insertion_point(NAME)
// The annotation can have arbitrary text before and after it on the line,
// which allows it to be placed in a comment. NAME should be replaced with
// an identifier naming the point -- this is what other generators will use
// as the insertion_point. Code inserted at this point will be placed
// immediately above the line containing the insertion point (thus multiple
// insertions to the same point will come out in the order they were added).
// The double-@ is intended to make it unlikely that the generated code
// could contain things that look like insertion points by accident.
//
// For example, the C++ code generator places the following line in the
// .pb.h files that it generates:
// // @@protoc_insertion_point(namespace_scope)
// This line appears within the scope of the file's package namespace, but
// outside of any particular class. Another plugin can then specify the
// insertion_point "namespace_scope" to generate additional classes or
// other declarations that should be placed in this scope.
//
// Note that if the line containing the insertion point begins with
// whitespace, the same whitespace will be added to every line of the
// inserted text. This is useful for languages like Python, where
// indentation matters. In these languages, the insertion point comment
// should be indented the same amount as any inserted code will need to be
// in order to work correctly in that context.
//
// The code generator that generates the initial file and the one which
// inserts into it must both run as part of a single invocation of protoc.
// Code generators are executed in the order in which they appear on the
// command line.
//
// If |insertion_point| is present, |name| must also be present.
optional string insertion_point = 2;
// The file contents.
optional string content = 15;
// Information describing the file content being inserted. If an insertion
// point is used, this information will be appropriately offset and inserted
// into the code generation metadata for the generated files.
