protoc: Generate Java code from a `.proto` file that imports other `.proto` files.
$ protoc --java_out=${path-to-output_directory} --proto_path=${path-to-import_search_path} ${input_file-proto}
try on your machine
This command is used to generate Java code from a protobuf (Protocol Buffers) file.
Here is the breakdown of the command:
protoc: This is the executable for the Protocol Buffers compiler.--java_out=${path-to-output_directory}: This specifies the output directory where the generated Java code will be placed. The${path-to-output_directory}should be replaced with the actual path on your system.--proto_path=${path-to-import_search_path}: This specifies the search path for imported.protofiles. The${path-to-import_search_path}should be replaced with the path where your imported.protofiles are located.${input_file-proto}: This is the path to the input.protofile that you want to compile. The${input_file-proto}should be replaced with the actual path to your.protofile.
Once you execute this command, the Protocol Buffers compiler (protoc) will read the specified input file and generate Java code based on the defined message types, enums, and services in the .proto file. The generated Java code will be placed in the specified output directory.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
