iroh 0.98.0

p2p quic connections dialed by public key
Documentation
//! Very basic example to showcase how to use iroh's APIs.
//!
//! This example implements a simple protocol that echos any data sent to it in the first stream.
//!
//! ## Usage
//!
//!     cargo run --example echo --features=examples
