 * \mainpage Introduction
 *
 * This is [protobuf-c], a C implementation of [Protocol Buffers].
 *
 * This file defines the public API for the `libprotobuf-c` support library.
 * This API includes interfaces that can be used directly by client code as well
 * as the interfaces used by the code generated by the `protoc-c` compiler.
 *
 * The `libprotobuf-c` support library performs the actual serialization and
 * deserialization of Protocol Buffers messages. It interacts with structures,
 * definitions, and metadata generated by the `protoc-c` compiler from .proto
 * files.

 * \page gencode Generated Code
 *
 * For each enum, we generate a C enum. For each message, we generate a C
 * structure which can be cast to a `ProtobufCMessage`.
 *
 * For each enum and message, we generate a descriptor object that allows us to
 * implement a kind of reflection on the structures.
 *
 * First, some naming conventions:
 *
 * - The name of the type for enums and messages and services is camel case
 *   (meaning WordsAreCrammedTogether) except that double underscores are used
 *   to delimit scopes. For example, the following `.proto` file:
 *
~~~{.proto}
        package foo.bar;
        message BazBah {
            optional int32 val = 1;
        }
~~~
 *
 * would generate a C type `Foo__Bar__BazBah`.
 *
 * - Identifiers for functions and globals are all lowercase, with camel case
 *   words separated by single underscores. For example, one of the function
 *   prototypes generated by `protoc-c` for the above example:
 *
~~~{.c}
Foo__Bar__BazBah *
       foo__bar__baz_bah__unpack
                     (ProtobufCAllocator  *allocator,
                      size_t               len,
                      const uint8_t       *data);
~~~
 *
 * - Identifiers for enum values contain an uppercase prefix which embeds the
 *   package name and the enum type name.
 *
 * - A double underscore is used to separate further components of identifier
 *   names.
 *
 * For example, in the name of the unpack function above, the package name
 * `foo.bar` has become `foo__bar`, the message name BazBah has become
 * `baz_bah`, and the method name is `unpack`. These are all joined with double
 * underscores to form the C identifier `foo__bar__baz_bah__unpack`.
 *
 * We also generate descriptor objects for messages and enums. These are
 * declared in the `.pb-c.h` files:
 *
~~~{.c}
extern const ProtobufCMessageDescriptor foo__bar__baz_bah__descriptor;
~~~
 *
 * The message structures all begin with `ProtobufCMessageDescriptor *` which is
 * sufficient to allow them to be cast to `ProtobufCMessage`.
 *
 * For each message defined in a `.proto` file, we generate a number of
 * functions and macros. Each function name contains a prefix based on the
 * package name and message name in order to make it a unique C identifier.
 *
 * - `INIT`. Statically initializes a message object, initializing its
 *   descriptor and setting its fields to default values. Uninitialized

 * \page pack Packing and unpacking messages
 *
 * To pack a message, first compute the packed size of the message with
 * protobuf_c_message_get_packed_size(), then allocate a buffer of at least
 * that size, then call protobuf_c_message_pack().
 *
 * Alternatively, a message can be serialized without calculating the final size
 * first. Use the protobuf_c_message_pack_to_buffer() function and provide a
 * ProtobufCBuffer object which implements an "append" method that consumes
 * data.
 *
 * To unpack a message, call the protobuf_c_message_unpack() function. The
 * result can be cast to an object of the type that matches the descriptor for
 * the message.
 *
 * The result of unpacking a message should be freed with
 * protobuf_c_message_free_unpacked().
