**This is a fork of [github.com/chippers/flatc.rs]() that I am maintaining. All credit to @chippers for the original codebase.**
Builds [flatbuffers](https://github.com/google/flatbuffers) and provides the path to the built `flatc`. Intended for use by build scripts, but can be useful otherwise if the project is using `flatc` during runtime.
The flatbuffers version is determined by the build identifier for the crate version. `v0.2.0+2.0.0` means the crate is version `0.2.0` and the vendored flatbuffers version is `2.0.0`. There's no pressure in releasing crate version `1.0.0` since this is primarily a build tool, so it will come eventually after nothing needs to be fixed/added for a while.
## Updating `flatbuffers`
Updates are done automatically via the `release` workflow, which is run each day at 12am UTC.
