# cgo-kzg-4844
This package implements Go bindings (using [Cgo](https://go.dev/blog/cgo)) for the
exported functions in [C-KZG-4844](https://github.com/ethereum/c-kzg-4844).
## Installation
```
go get github.com/ethereum/c-kzg-4844
```
## Go version
This package requires `1.19rc1` or later. Version `1.19beta1` and before will
not work. These versions have a linking issue and are unable to see `blst`
functions.
## Example
For reference, see the `example` module in this directory. You can test it out with `go run`:
```
user@system ~/c-kzg-4844/bindings/go/example $ go run .
go: downloading github.com/ethereum/c-kzg-4844 v0.0.0-20230321204456-577d146c0a5a
go: downloading github.com/supranational/blst v0.3.11-0.20230124161941-ca03e11a3ff2

```
## Tests
Run the tests with this command:
```
go test
```
## Benchmarks
Run the benchmarks with this command:
```
go test -bench=Benchmark
```
## Note
The `go.mod` and `go.sum` files are in the project's root directory because the
bindings need access to the c-kzg-4844 source, but Go cannot reference files
outside its module/package. The best way to deal with this is to make the whole
project available, that way everything is accessible.
