 const String HOOKS_API_USAGE = """
 // Generated by dart2js, the Dart to JavaScript compiler.
 // The code supports the following hooks:
 // dartPrint(message)   - if this function is defined it is called
 //                        instead of the Dart [print] method.
 // dartMainRunner(main) - if this function is defined, the Dart [main]
 //                        method will not be invoked directly.
 //                        Instead, a closure that will invoke [main] is
 //                        passed to [dartMainRunner].
