    \inqmlmodule QbsModules
    \since Qbs 1.18

    \brief Provides support for protocol buffers for embedded systems.

    The \c protobuf.nanopb module provides support for generating nanopb C headers
    and sources from proto definition files using the \l nanopb plugin for the
    \l protoc tool suitable for embedded systems.

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

        int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
            Foo bar;
            bar.has_answer = true;
            bar.answer = 42;
            return 0;
        }
    \endcode

    Nanopb .options files to define nanopb specific proto options are supported.
