    \qmltype capnproto.cpp
    \inqmlmodule QbsModules
    \since Qbs 1.17

    \brief Provides support for Cap'n Proto for the C++ language.

    The \c capnproto.cpp module provides support for generating C++ headers
    and sources from proto definition files using the \c capnpc tool.

    A simple qbs file that uses Cap'n Proto can be written as follows:
    \code
    CppApplication {
        Depends { name: "capnproto.cpp" }
        files: ["foo.capnp", "main.cpp"]
    }
    \endcode
    A generated header now can be included in the C++ sources:
    \code
        #include <foo.capnp.h>

        int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
            ::capnp::MallocMessageBuilder message;

            auto foo = message.initRoot<Foo>();
            foo.setAnswer(42);
            return 0;
        }
    \endcode

    \section2 Relevant File Tags

    \table
    \header
        \li Tag
        \li Auto-tagged File Names
        \li Since
        \li Description
    \row
        \li \c{"capnproto.input"}
        \li \c{*.capnp}
        \li 1.17.0
        \li Source files with this tag are considered inputs to the \c capnpc compiler.
    \endtable

    \section2 Dependencies
    This module depends on the \c capnp module and on the \c capnp-rpc module if
    \l{capnproto.cpp::useRpc}{useRpc} property is \c true. These modules are created by the
    \l{Module Providers} via the \c pkg-config tool.
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty string capnproto.cpp::compilerName

    The name of the capnp binary.

    \defaultvalue \c "capnpc"
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty string capnproto.cpp::compilerPath

    The path to the protoc binary.

    Use this property to override the auto-detected location.

    \defaultvalue \c auto-detected
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty pathList capnproto.cpp::importPaths

    The list of import paths that are passed to the \c capnpc tool via the \c --import-path option.

    \defaultvalue \c []
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty bool capnproto.cpp::useRpc

    Use this property to enable support for the RPC framework.

    A simple qbs file that uses rpc can be written as follows:

    \quotefile ../examples/capnproto/calculator_cpp/calculator_cpp.qbs

    \defaultvalue \c false
