    public final class TextLocator extends GeneratedMessage implements TextLocatorOrBuilder

A locator for text. Indicates a particular part of the text of a request or
of an object referenced in the request.

For example, suppose the request field `text` contains:

text: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."

Then the locator:

source: "text"
start_position {
line: 1
column: 17
}
end_position {
line: 1
column: 19
}

refers to the part of the text: "fox".

If `source`, `start_position`, and `end_position` describe a call on
some object (e.g. a macro in the time series query language text) and a
location is to be designated in that object's text, `nested_locator`
identifies the location within that object.

### getNestingReason()

    public String getNestingReason()

When `nested_locator` is set, this field gives the reason for the nesting.
Usually, the reason is a macro invocation. In that case, the macro name
(including the leading '@') signals the location of the macro call
in the text and a macro argument name (including the leading '$') signals
the location of the macro argument inside the macro body that got
substituted away.

`string nesting_reason = 5;`

| **Type** | **Description** |
| `https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/String.html` | The nestingReason. |

### getNestingReasonBytes()

    public ByteString getNestingReasonBytes()

When `nested_locator` is set, this field gives the reason for the nesting.
Usually, the reason is a macro invocation. In that case, the macro name
(including the leading '@') signals the location of the macro call
in the text and a macro argument name (including the leading '$') signals
the location of the macro argument inside the macro body that got
substituted away.

`string nesting_reason = 5;`
