const WildcardPath = "*"
func IsFullReplacement(fm *fieldmaskpb.FieldMask) bool

func Update(mask *fieldmaskpb.FieldMask, dst, src proto.Message)
Update updates fields in dst with values from src according to the provided field mask. Nested messages are recursively updated in the same manner. Repeated fields and maps are copied by reference from src to dst. Field mask paths referring to Individual entries in maps or repeated fields are ignored.
If no update mask is provided, only non-zero values of src are copied to dst. If the special value "*" is provided as the field mask, a full replacement of all fields in dst is done.
See: https://google.aip.dev/134 (Standard methods: Update).
