Erin is correct.
For #2, the command-line syntax to have the compiler echo back capnp format
(with all type IDs defined explicitly) is:
capnp compile -ocapnp foo.capnp
This of course requires that `capnp` and the generator plugin
`capnpc-capnp` are in your $PATH, which they should be after installing
Cap'n Proto globally. If you haven't installed it globally, you can do:
path/to/capnp compile -opath/to/capnpc-capnp foo.capnp
In any case, the output will go to the terminal (no files are generated).
