33	A plugin for the Google protocol buffer compiler to generate Go code.
34	Run it by building this program and putting it in your path with the name
35		protoc-gen-go
36	That word 'go' at the end becomes part of the option string set for the
37	protocol compiler, so once the protocol compiler (protoc) is installed
38	you can run
39		protoc --go_out=output_directory input_directory/file.proto
40	to generate Go bindings for the protocol defined by file.proto.
41	With that input, the output will be written to
42		output_directory/file.pb.go
43
44	The generated code is documented in the package comment for
45	the library.

47	See the README and documentation for protocol buffers to learn more:
