/*
	A plugin for the Google protocol buffer compiler to generate Go code.
	Run it by building this program and putting it in your path with the name
		protoc-gen-gogo
	That word 'gogo' at the end becomes part of the option string set for the
	protocol compiler, so once the protocol compiler (protoc) is installed
	you can run
		protoc --gogo_out=output_directory input_directory/file.proto
	to generate Go bindings for the protocol defined by file.proto.
	With that input, the output will be written to
		output_directory/go_package/file.pb.go

	The generated code is documented in the package comment for
	the library.

	See the README and documentation for protocol buffers to learn more:
		https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/
