marshalled resources on `stdin` and capture
`stdout` for further processing.
#### Generator Options
A generator exec plugin can adjust the generator options for the resources it emits by setting one of the following internal annotations.
> NOTE: These annotations are local to kustomize and will not be included in the final output.
**`kustomize.config.k8s.io/needs-hash`**
Resources can be marked as needing to be processed by the internal hash transformer by including the `needs-hash` annotation. When set valid values for the annotation are `"true"` and `"false"` which respectively enable or disable hash suffixing for the resource. Omitting the annotation is equivalent to setting the value `"false"`.
If this annotation is set on a resource not supported by the hash transformer the build will fail.
Example:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: cm-test
annotations:
kustomize.config.k8s.io/needs-hash: "true"
data:
foo: bar
```
**`kustomize.config.k8s.io/behavior`**
The `behavior` annotation will influence how conflicts are handled for resources emitted by the plugin. Valid values include "create", "merge", and "replace" with "create" being the default.
Example:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: cm-test
annotations:
kustomize.config.k8s.io/behavior: "merge"
data:
foo: bar
```
