GetOptions()

public EnumOptions GetOptions()

The EnumOptions, defined in descriptor.proto. If the options message is not present (i.e. there are no options), null is returned. Custom options can be retrieved as extensions of the returned message. NOTE: A defensive copy is created each time this property is retrieved.

Returns
Type Description
EnumOptions

ToProto()

public EnumDescriptorProto ToProto()

Returns a clone of the underlying EnumDescriptorProto describing this enum. Note that a copy is taken every time this method is called, so clients using it frequently (and not modifying it) may want to cache the returned value.

Returns
Type Description
EnumDescriptorProto

A protobuf representation of this enum descriptor.
