Review: golang-github-multiformats-go-multiaddr 0.16.1-1

Package Information

Descriptionimplementation of the Multiaddr network address format in Go

Multiaddr is a standard for representing network addresses that are self-describing, composable, and future-proof. It allows applications to treat addresses as opaque tokens and avoid making assumptions about the underlying address representation or length.

This library provides a way to: * Support any standard network protocols (IP, TCP, UDP, etc.). * Use a binary packed format for efficient machine readability. * Use a human-friendly string representation (e.g., /ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/80). * Encapsulate protocols within one another for complex tunneling.

This package contains the Go source code for the multiaddr library

N:
W: go-multiaddr: no-manual-page [usr/bin/multiaddr]
N: 
N:   Each binary in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /bin, /sbin or /usr/games should have
N:   a manual page
N:   
N:   Note that though the man program has the capability to check for several
N:   program names in the NAMES section, each of these programs should have its
N:   own manual page (a symbolic link to the appropriate manual page is
N:   sufficient) because other manual page viewers such as xman or tkman don't
N:   support this.
N:   
N:   If the name of the manual page differs from the binary by case, man may be
N:   able to find it anyway; however, it is still best practice to match the
N:   exact capitalization of the executable in the manual page.
N:   
N:   If the manual pages are provided by another package on which this package
N:   depends, Lintian may not be able to determine that manual pages are
N:   available. In this case, after confirming that all binaries do have manual
N:   pages after this package and its dependencies are installed, please add a
N:   Lintian override.
N: 
N:   Please refer to Manual pages (Section 12.1) in the Debian Policy Manual
N:   for details.
