Types

type Block

type Block struct {
	Multihash mh.Multihash
	Data      []byte
}

Block is a singular block of data in ipfs

func NewBlock

func NewBlock(data []byte) *Block

NewBlock creates a Block object from opaque data. It will hash the data.

func NewBlockWithHash

func NewBlockWithHash(data []byte, h mh.Multihash) (*Block, error)

NewBlockWithHash creates a new block when the hash of the data is already known, this is used to save time in situations where we are able to be confident that the data is correct

func (*Block) Key

func (b *Block) Key() u.Key

Key returns the block's Multihash as a Key value.

func (*Block) String

func (b *Block) String() string
