Go compiler output filter for the protocol buffer compiler
Overview
protoc-gen-gogo is a filter for the protoc(1) protocol buffer compiler. It takes the protocol buffer format from protoc(1) as input and produces Go code as output which can then be used to encode (marshal) and decode (unmarshal) data in the protocol buffer format specified in its input. The input is typically produced by protoc(1) by taking a .proto input file and converting it to a protocol buffer descriptor format which protoc-gen-gogo can then read. If protoc-gen-gogo can be found in the regular search path, the --plugin flag can be omitted.
Options
protoc-gen-gogo itself doesn't like options. All input is taken from stdin. If you use the protobuf compiler to invoke protoc-gen-gogo, see protoc(1) for a detailed list of all options.
