Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

Protocol Buffers are a way of encoding structured data in an efficient yet extensible format. This package provides a code generator and run-time libraries to use Protocol Buffers from pure C (not C++). It uses a modified version of protoc called protoc-c.

Mapping provenance

Only source-backed identity signals create public cross-OS links. A reviewer can later approve or dispute an inferred relationship without rewriting native package history.
