## Install
`go-multicodec` is a standard Go module:
go get github.com/multiformats/go-multicodec
## Type
`Code` describes an integer reserved in the multicodec table, defined at [multiformats/multicodec/table.csv](https://github.com/multiformats/multicodec/blob/master/table.csv).
```go
type Code uint64
```
## Usage
### Importing Code constant
```go
package main
import "github.com/multiformats/go-multicodec"
func main() {
code := multicodec.Sha2_256 // Code
name := multicodec.Sha2_256.String()
}
```
The corresponding `name` value for each codec from the [multicodecs table](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/multiformats/multicodec/master/table.csv) can be accessed via its `String` method. For example, `multicodec.Sha2_256.String()` will return `sha2-256`.
### Code from string
```go
var multicodec.Code code
err := code.Set("libp2p-key")
```
### Code from uint64
```go
rawCode := multicodec.Code(0x55)
```
## Generator
To generate the constants yourself:
git clone https://github.com/multiformats/go-multicodec
cd go-multicodec
git submodule init && git submodule update
go generate
Note: You may need to install `stringer` via `go install golang.org/x/tools/cmd/stringer`.
