+This is protobuf-c, a C implementation of the Google Protocol Buffers
+data serialization format.
+
+It includes libprotobuf-c, a pure C library that implements protobuf
+encoding and decoding, and protoc-c, a code generator that converts
+Protocol Buffer .proto files to C descriptor code, based on the
+original protoc.
+
+protobuf-c formerly included an RPC implementation; that code has been
+split out into the protobuf-c-rpc project.
