// Implementation of the Protocol Buffer compiler.
//
// This package contains code for parsing .proto files and generating code
// based on them. There are two reasons you might be interested in this
// package:
// - You want to parse .proto files at runtime. In this case, you should
// look at importer.h. Since this functionality is widely useful, it is
// included in the libprotobuf base library; you do not have to link against
// libprotoc.
// - You want to write a custom protocol compiler which generates different
// kinds of code, e.g. code in a different language which is not supported
// by the official compiler. For this purpose, command_line_interface.h
// provides you with a complete compiler front-end, so all you need to do
// is write a custom implementation of CodeGenerator and a trivial main()
// function. You can even make your compiler support the official languages
// in addition to your own. Since this functionality is only useful to those
// writing custom compilers, it is in a separate library called "libprotoc"
// which you will have to link against.
