API for protoc plugins.

This file defines a set of protocol message classes which make up the API to protoc code generator plugins. Plugins written in C++ should probably build on the API in plugin.h instead of dealing with the protobuf-level API, but plugins in other languages will need to deal with the raw messages as defined below.

The protocol compiler currently doesn't support auto-generated documentation, hence this page contains no descriptions. This file was generated by the protocol compiler from plugin.proto, whose contents are as follows:

// 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.

// 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.

// point is used, this information will be appropriately offset and inserted
