// These functions enable you to retrieve keys to use for Google APIs
// such as Translate and Safe Browsing.
//
// You can retrieve either an "API key" (sometimes called a developer
// key) which identifies you (or the company you work for) as a
// developer, or you can retrieve the "client ID" and "client secret"
// used by you (or the company you work for) to generate OAuth2
// requests.
//
// Each developer (or group of developers working together for a
// single company) must request a Google API key and the client ID and
// client secret for OAuth2.  See
// https://developers.google.com/console/help/ and
// https://developers.google.com/console/.
//
// The keys must either be provided using preprocessor variables (set via e.g.
// GN args). Alternatively, they can be overridden at runtime using one of the
// following methods (in priority order):
// - Command line parameters (only for GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID_MAIN and
//   GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET_MAIN values). The command-line parameters are
//   --oauth2-client-id and --oauth2-client-secret.
// - Config file entry of the same name. Path to a config file is set via the
//   --gaia-config command line parameter. See google_apis/gaia/gaia_config.h
//   for syntax reference.
// - Environment variables of the same name. Environment variable overrides will
//   be ignored for official Google Chrome builds.
//
// The names of the preprocessor variables (or environment variables
// to override them at runtime in Chromium builds) are as follows:
// - GOOGLE_API_KEY: The API key, a.k.a. developer key.
// - GOOGLE_DEFAULT_CLIENT_ID: If set, this is used as the default for
//   all client IDs not otherwise set.  This is intended only for
//   development.
// - GOOGLE_DEFAULT_CLIENT_SECRET: If set, this is used as the default
//   for all client secrets.  This is intended only for development.
// - GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID_[client name]
// - GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET_[client name]
//   (e.g. GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET_REMOTING, i.e. one for each item in
//   the OAuth2Client enumeration below)
//
// If some of the parameters mentioned above are not provided,
// Chromium will still build and run, but services that require them
// may fail to work without warning.  They should do so gracefully,
// similar to what would happen when a network connection is
// unavailable.
