		Package hex implements hexadecimal encoding and decoding.
Code Examples

	Decode
		package main
		
		import (
			"encoding/hex"
			"fmt"
			"log"
		)
		
		func main() {
			src := []byte("48656c6c6f20476f7068657221")
		
			dst := make([]byte, hex.DecodedLen(len(src)))
			n, err := hex.Decode(dst, src)
			if err != nil {
				log.Fatal(err)
			}
		
			fmt.Printf("%s\n", dst[:n])
		
		}

	DecodeString
		package main
		
		import (
			"encoding/hex"
			"fmt"
			"log"
		)
		
		func main() {
			const s = "48656c6c6f20476f7068657221"
			decoded, err := hex.DecodeString(s)
			if err != nil {
				log.Fatal(err)
			}
		
			fmt.Printf("%s\n", decoded)
		
		}

	Dump
		package main
		
		import (
			"encoding/hex"
			"fmt"
		)
		
		func main() {
			content := []byte("Go is an open source programming language.")
		
			fmt.Printf("%s", hex.Dump(content))
		
		}

	Dumper
		package main
		
		import (
			"encoding/hex"
			"os"
		)
		
		func main() {
			lines := []string{
				"Go is an open source programming language.",
				"\n",
				"We encourage all Go users to subscribe to golang-announce.",
			}
		
			stdoutDumper := hex.Dumper(os.Stdout)
		
			defer stdoutDumper.Close()
		
			for _, line := range lines {
				stdoutDumper.Write([]byte(line))
			}
		
		}

	Encode
		package main
		
		import (
			"encoding/hex"
			"fmt"
		)
		
		func main() {
			src := []byte("Hello Gopher!")
		
			dst := make([]byte, hex.EncodedLen(len(src)))
			hex.Encode(dst, src)
		
			fmt.Printf("%s\n", dst)
		
		}

	EncodeToString
		package main
		
		import (
			"encoding/hex"
			"fmt"
		)
		
		func main() {
			src := []byte("Hello")
			encodedStr := hex.EncodeToString(src)
		
			fmt.Printf("%s\n", encodedStr)
		
		}


Package-Level Type Names (only one)

	/* sort by: alphabet | popularity */
	 type InvalidByteError byte (basic type)
		InvalidByteError values describe errors resulting from an invalid byte in a hex string.

		Methods (only one)
			( InvalidByteError) Error() string
		Implements (at least one exported)
			 InvalidByteError : error


Package-Level Functions (total 12)

	 func AppendDecode(dst, src []byte) ([]byte, error)
		AppendDecode appends the hexadecimally decoded src to dst
		and returns the extended buffer.
		If the input is malformed, it returns the partially decoded src and an error.

	 func AppendEncode(dst, src []byte) []byte
		AppendEncode appends the hexadecimally encoded src to dst
		and returns the extended buffer.

	 func Decode(dst, src []byte) (int, error)
		Decode decodes src into [DecodedLen](len(src)) bytes,
		returning the actual number of bytes written to dst.
		
		Decode expects that src contains only hexadecimal
		characters and that src has even length.
		If the input is malformed, Decode returns the number
		of bytes decoded before the error.

	 func DecodedLen(x int) int
		DecodedLen returns the length of a decoding of x source bytes.
		Specifically, it returns x / 2.

	 func DecodeString(s string) ([]byte, error)
		DecodeString returns the bytes represented by the hexadecimal string s.
		
		DecodeString expects that src contains only hexadecimal
		characters and that src has even length.
		If the input is malformed, DecodeString returns
		the bytes decoded before the error.

	 func Dump(data []byte) string
		Dump returns a string that contains a hex dump of the given data. The format
		of the hex dump matches the output of `hexdump -C` on the command line.

	 func Dumper(w io.Writer) io.WriteCloser
		Dumper returns a [io.WriteCloser] that writes a hex dump of all written data to
		w. The format of the dump matches the output of `hexdump -C` on the command
		line.

	 func Encode(dst, src []byte) int
		Encode encodes src into [EncodedLen](len(src))
		bytes of dst. As a convenience, it returns the number
		of bytes written to dst, but this value is always [EncodedLen](len(src)).
		Encode implements hexadecimal encoding.

	 func EncodedLen(n int) int
		EncodedLen returns the length of an encoding of n source bytes.
		Specifically, it returns n * 2.

	 func EncodeToString(src []byte) string
		EncodeToString returns the hexadecimal encoding of src.

	 func NewDecoder(r io.Reader) io.Reader
		NewDecoder returns an [io.Reader] that decodes hexadecimal characters from r.
		NewDecoder expects that r contain only an even number of hexadecimal characters.

	 func NewEncoder(w io.Writer) io.Writer
		NewEncoder returns an [io.Writer] that writes lowercase hexadecimal characters to w.


Package-Level Variables (only one)

	  var ErrLength error
		ErrLength reports an attempt to decode an odd-length input
		using [Decode] or [DecodeString].
		The stream-based Decoder returns [io.ErrUnexpectedEOF] instead of ErrLength.
