NAME

       protoc-gen-go - Go compiler output filter for the protocol buffer compiler

SYNOPSIS

       protoc --plugin=protoc-gen-go=/usr/bin/protoc-gen-go --go_out=gocode input.proto

       protoc --go_out=gocode input.proto

DESCRIPTION

       protoc-gen-go  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-go
       can then read.  If protoc-gen-go can be found in the regular  search  path,  the  --plugin
       flag can be omitted.

OPTIONS

       protoc-gen-go itself doesn't like options.  All input is taken from stdin.  If you use the
       protobuf compiler to invoke protoc-gen-go, see  protoc(1)  for  a  detailed  list  of  all
       options.

SEE ALSO

       protoc(1).
