Run it by building this program and putting it in your path with the name protoc-gen-go That word 'go' 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 --go_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/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: http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/ */ package documentation
