+        Usage: /home/kkm/work/protobuf/src/.libs/lt-protoc [OPTION] PROTO_FILES
+        Parse PROTO_FILES and generate output based on the options given:
+          -IPATH, --proto_path=PATH   Specify the directory in which to search for
+                                      imports.  May be specified multiple times;
+                                      directories will be searched in order.  If not
+                                      given, the current working directory is used.
+          --version                   Show version info and exit.
+          -h, --help                  Show this text and exit.
+          --encode=MESSAGE_TYPE       Read a text-format message of the given type
+                                      from standard input and write it in binary
+                                      to standard output.  The message type must
+                                      be defined in PROTO_FILES or their imports.
+          --decode=MESSAGE_TYPE       Read a binary message of the given type from
+                                      standard input and write it in text format
+                                      to standard output.  The message type must
+                                      be defined in PROTO_FILES or their imports.
+          --decode_raw                Read an arbitrary protocol message from
+                                      standard input and write the raw tag/value
+                                      pairs in text format to standard output.  No
+                                      PROTO_FILES should be given when using this
+                                      flag.
+          --descriptor_set_in=FILES   Specifies a delimited list of FILES
+                                      each containing a FileDescriptorSet (a
+                                      protocol buffer defined in descriptor.proto).
+                                      The FileDescriptor for each of the PROTO_FILES
+                                      provided will be loaded from these
+                                      FileDescriptorSets. If a FileDescriptor
+                                      appears multiple times, the first occurrence
+                                      will be used.
+          -oFILE,                     Writes a FileDescriptorSet (a protocol buffer,
+            --descriptor_set_out=FILE defined in descriptor.proto) containing all of
+                                      the input files to FILE.
+          --include_imports           When using --descriptor_set_out, also include
+                                      all dependencies of the input files in the
+                                      set, so that the set is self-contained.
+          --include_source_info       When using --descriptor_set_out, do not strip
+                                      SourceCodeInfo from the FileDescriptorProto.
+                                      This results in vastly larger descriptors that
+                                      include information about the original
+                                      location of each decl in the source file as
+                                      well as surrounding comments.
+          --dependency_out=FILE       Write a dependency output file in the format
+                                      expected by make. This writes the transitive
+                                      set of input file paths to FILE
+          --error_format=FORMAT       Set the format in which to print errors.
+                                      FORMAT may be 'gcc' (the default) or 'msvs'
+                                      (Microsoft Visual Studio format).
+          --print_free_field_numbers  Print the free field numbers of the messages
+                                      defined in the given proto files. Groups share
+                                      the same field number space with the parent
+                                      message. Extension ranges are counted as
+                                      occupied fields numbers.
+
+          --plugin=EXECUTABLE         Specifies a plugin executable to use.
+                                      Normally, protoc searches the PATH for
+                                      plugins, but you may specify additional
+                                      executables not in the path using this flag.
+                                      Additionally, EXECUTABLE may be of the form
+                                      NAME=PATH, in which case the given plugin name
+                                      is mapped to the given executable even if
+                                      the executable's own name differs.
+          --cpp_out=OUT_DIR           Generate C++ header and source.
+          --csharp_out=OUT_DIR        Generate C# source file.
+          --java_out=OUT_DIR          Generate Java source file.
+          --javanano_out=OUT_DIR      Generate Java Nano source file.
+          --js_out=OUT_DIR            Generate JavaScript source.
+          --objc_out=OUT_DIR          Generate Objective C header and source.
+          --php_out=OUT_DIR           Generate PHP source file.
+          --python_out=OUT_DIR        Generate Python source file.
+          --ruby_out=OUT_DIR          Generate Ruby source file.
+          @<filename>                 Read options and filenames from file. If a
+                                      relative file path is specified, the file
+                                      will be searched in the working directory.
+                                      The --proto_path option will not affect how
+                                      this argument file is searched. Content of
+                                      the file will be expanded in the position of
+                                      @<filename> as in the argument list. Note
+                                      that shell expansion is not applied to the
+                                      content of the file (i.e., you cannot use
+                                      quotes, wildcards, escapes, commands, etc.).
+                                      Each line corresponds to a single argument,
+                                      even if it contains spaces.
