/*
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
