# dfhack_proto
[](https://crates.io/crates/dfhack-proto)
[](https://docs.rs/dfhack-proto)
This subcomponent of [dfhack_remote](https://docs.rs/dfhack-remote/) contains all the generated code
for interacting with DFHack remote API.
It contains two main modules:
- [messages] exposes the protobuf messages. This is the standard generated protobuf.
- [stubs] exposes the plugins and their RPC. DFHack is not using gRPC and this is a custom implementation
Internally these two modules are created under the `generated` module.
The terminology is based on `gRPC`: The `stubs` expose the feature from the plugin. They are built from
a `channel` implementing the data exchange.
The code is regenerated under the condition that the environment variable `DFHACK_REGEN` is set.
This crates generates all its code directly in a source subfolder. It would likely
be cleaner to use the $OUT_DIR, or macro to do this job.
