public sealed class DocumentationRule : IMessage<DocumentationRule>, IEquatable<DocumentationRule>, IDeepCloneable<DocumentationRule>, IBufferMessage, IMessage
A documentation rule provides information about individual API elements.
Description of the selected proto element (e.g. a message, a method, a
'service' definition, or a field). Defaults to leading & trailing comments
taken from the proto source definition of the proto element.
The selector is a comma-separated list of patterns for any element such as
a method, a field, an enum value. Each pattern is a qualified name of the
element which may end in "", indicating a wildcard. Wildcards are only
allowed at the end and for a whole component of the qualified name,
i.e. "foo." is ok, but not "foo.b" or "foo..bar". A wildcard will match
one or more components. To specify a default for all applicable elements,
the whole pattern "*" is used.
