//! # Multistream-select
//!
//! This crate implements the `multistream-select` protocol, which is the protocol used by libp2p
//! to negotiate which protocol to use with the remote.
//!
//! > **Note**: This crate is used by the internals of *libp2p*, and it is not required to
//! > understand it in order to use *libp2p*.
//!
//! Whenever a new connection or a new multiplexed substream is opened, libp2p uses
//! `multistream-select` to negotiate with the remote which protocol to use. After a protocol has
//! been successfully negotiated, the stream (i.e. the connection or the multiplexed substream)
//! immediately stops using `multistream-select` and starts using the negotiated protocol.
//!
//! ## Protocol explanation
//!
//! The dialer has two options available: either request the list of protocols that the listener
//! supports, or suggest a protocol. If a protocol is suggested, the listener can either accept (by
//! answering with the same protocol name) or refuse the choice (by answering "not available").
//!
//! ## Examples
//!
//! For a dialer:
//!
//! ```no_run
//! # fn main() {
//! use bytes::Bytes;
//! use multistream_select::dialer_select_proto;
//! use futures::{Future, Sink, Stream};
//! use tokio_tcp::TcpStream;
//! use tokio::runtime::current_thread::Runtime;
//!
//! #[derive(Debug, Copy, Clone)]
//! enum MyProto { Echo, Hello }
//!
//! let client = TcpStream::connect(&"127.0.0.1:10333".parse().unwrap())
//!     .from_err()
//!     .and_then(move |connec| {
//!         let protos = vec![b"/echo/1.0.0", b"/echo/2.5.0"];
//!         dialer_select_proto(connec, protos).map(|r| r.0)
//!     });
//!
//! let mut rt = Runtime::new().unwrap();
//! let negotiated_protocol = rt.block_on(client).expect("failed to find a protocol");
//! println!("negotiated: {:?}", negotiated_protocol);
//! # }
//! ```
//!
