Go implementation of the Multihash format (development files)

Multihash is a protocol that describes a hash digest using a self-describing format. It prefixes the hash with an identifier for the hashing algorithm and the length of the digest in bytes. This allows systems to handle various hashing algorithms in a unified way, providing flexibility and future-proofing without requiring prior knowledge of the specific hash function used.

This library provides functions for encoding and decoding Multihash values, summing data with various cryptographic hash functions into Multihash format, and verifying Multihash integrity.

It is a foundational component of content-addressed systems like IPFS, which rely on self-describing data for distributed and decentralized content verification.

This package contains the source code for the Go Multihash library, intended for use by other Go packages during compilation.
