// This protobuf file defines messages used to represent and manage flags in the "aconfig" system
// The following format requirements apply across various message fields:
//
// # name: name of the flag
//
//    format: a lowercase string in snake_case format, no consecutive underscores, and no leading
//      digit. For example adjust_rate is a valid name, while AdjustRate, adjust__rate, and
//      adjust_rate are invalid
//
// # namespace: namespace the flag belongs to
//
//    format: a lowercase string in snake_case format, no consecutive underscores, and no leading
//      digit. For example android_bar_system
//
// # package: package to which the flag belongs
//
//    format: lowercase strings in snake_case format, delimited by dots, no consecutive underscores
//      and no leading digit in each string. For example com.android.mypackage is a valid name
//      while com.android.myPackage, com.android.1mypackage are invalid
//
// # container: container as software built in its entirety using the same build environment and
//    always installed as a single unit
//
//    For example the following are all separate containers:
//        * the system partition
//        * the vendor partition
//        * apexes: each APEX is its own container
//        * APKs: for APKs which are released independently via Play, each APK is its own container.
//            If an APK is released as part of a Mainline module, or as part of the system partition
//            via OTA, then they are part of the apex or the system partition container
//
//    format: lowercase strings in snake_case format, delimited by dots if multiple, no consecutive
//      underscores or leading digits in each string. The recommended container values are the
//      partition names or the module names

// messages used in both aconfig input and output
