+description: |
+  FlatBuffers compiler
+
+  NOTE: This snap also ships the necessary header files required to compile
+  projects using flatbuffers, however, for the compilation to work, you have
+  to manually add the following path in your project's configuration:
+
+  /snap/flatc/current/include
+
+  If you need to use flatbuffers headers from a location other than the above
+  path, it is recommended to not use this snap as that could cause a mismatch.
