go-namesys provides publish and resolution support for the /ipns/ namespace

Package namesys defines Resolver and Publisher interfaces for IPNS paths, that is, paths in the form of /ipns/<name_to_be_resolved>. A "resolved" IPNS path becomes an /ipfs/<cid> path.

Traditionally, these paths would be in the form of /ipns/{libp2p-key}, which references an IPNS record in a distributed ValueStore (usually the IPFS DHT).

Additionally, the /ipns/ namespace can also be used with domain names that use DNSLink (/ipns/en.wikipedia-on-ipfs.org, see https://docs.ipfs.io/concepts/dnslink/).

The package provides implementations for all three resolvers.

Overview

Package namesys implements resolvers and publishers for the IPFS naming system (IPNS).

The core of IPFS is an immutable, content-addressable Merkle graph. That works well for many use cases, but doesn't allow you to answer questions like "what is Alice's current homepage?". The mutable name system allows Alice to publish information like: 

The current homepage for alice.example.com is
/ipfs/Qmcqtw8FfrVSBaRmbWwHxt3AuySBhJLcvmFYi3Lbc4xnwj

or: 

The current homepage for node
QmatmE9msSfkKxoffpHwNLNKgwZG8eT9Bud6YoPab52vpy
is
/ipfs/Qmcqtw8FfrVSBaRmbWwHxt3AuySBhJLcvmFYi3Lbc4xnwj

The mutable name system also allows users to resolve those references to find the immutable IPFS object currently referenced by a given mutable name.

For command-line bindings to this functionality, see: 

ipfs name
ipfs dns
ipfs resolve

Package namesys defines Resolver and Publisher interfaces for IPNS paths, that is, IPFS paths in the form of /ipns/<name_to_be_resolved>. A "resolved" IPNS path becomes an /ipfs/<cid> path.

Traditionally, these paths would be in the form of /ipns/peer_id, which references an IPNS record in a distributed ValueStore (usually the IPFS DHT).

Additionally, the /ipns/ namespace can also be used with domain names that use DNSLink (/ipns/<dnslink_name>, https://docs.ipfs.io/concepts/dnslink/)

The package provides implementations for all three resolvers.

	// and there is a DHT IPNS entry for

	//
	// There is a default depth-limit to avoid infinite recursion.  Most
	// users will be fine with this default limit, but if you need to
	// adjust the limit you can specify it as an option.
	Resolve(ctx context.Context, name string, options ...opts.ResolveOpt) (value path.Path, err error)

	// ResolveAsync performs recursive name lookup, like Resolve, but it returns
	// entries as they are discovered in the DHT. Each returned result is guaranteed
	// to be "better" (which usually means newer) than the previous one.
	ResolveAsync(ctx context.Context, name string, options ...opts.ResolveOpt) <-chan Result
