-## Install
-
-`go-multihash` is a standard Go module which can be installed with:
-
-```sh
-go get github.com/multiformats/go-multihash
-```
-
-## Usage
-
-
-### Example
-
-This example takes a standard hex-encoded data and uses `EncodeName` to calculate the SHA1 multihash value for the buffer.
-
-The resulting hex-encoded data corresponds to: `<hash function code><digest size><hash function output>`, which could be re-parsed
-with `Multihash.FromHexString()`.
-
-
-```go
-package main
-
-import (
- "encoding/hex"
- "fmt"
-
- "github.com/multiformats/go-multihash"
-)
-
-func main() {
- // ignores errors for simplicity.
- // don't do that at home.
- // Decode a SHA1 hash to a binary buffer
- buf, _ := hex.DecodeString("0beec7b5ea3f0fdbc95d0dd47f3c5bc275da8a33")
-
- // Create a new multihash with it.
- mHashBuf, _ := multihash.EncodeName(buf, "sha1")
- // Print the multihash as hex string
- fmt.Printf("hex: %s\n", hex.EncodeToString(mHashBuf))
-
- // Parse the binary multihash to a DecodedMultihash
- mHash, _ := multihash.Decode(mHashBuf)
- // Convert the sha1 value to hex string
- sha1hex := hex.EncodeToString(mHash.Digest)
- // Print all the information in the multihash
- fmt.Printf("obj: %v 0x%x %d %s\n", mHash.Name, mHash.Code, mHash.Length, sha1hex)
-}
-```
-
-To run, copy to [example/foo.go](example/foo.go) and:
-
-```
-> cd example/
-> go build
-> ./example
-hex: 11140beec7b5ea3f0fdbc95d0dd47f3c5bc275da8a33
-obj: sha1 0x11 20 0beec7b5ea3f0fdbc95d0dd47f3c5bc275da8a33
-```
