# API to generate .rs files
API to generate `.rs` files to be used e. g. [from build.rs](https://github.com/stepancheg/rust-protobuf/blob/master/protobuf-codegen-pure-test/build.rs).
Example code:
```
extern crate protobuf_codegen_pure;
protobuf_codegen_pure::run(protobuf_codegen_pure::Args {
out_dir: "src/protos",
input: &["protos/a.proto", "protos/b.proto"],
includes: &["protos"],
customize: Customize {
..Default::default()
},
}).expect("protoc");
```
And in `Cargo.toml`:
```
[build-dependencies]
protobuf_codegen_pure = "1.5"
```
The alternative is to use
[protoc-rust crate](https://github.com/stepancheg/rust-protobuf/tree/master/protoc-rust),
which relies on `protoc` command to parse descriptors (thus it's more reliable),
but it requires `protoc` command in `$PATH`.
