========
Ethereum Go is split up in several sub packages Please refer to each
individual package for more information.
1. [eth](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum)
2. [ethchain](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/tree/master/ethchain)
3. [ethwire](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/tree/master/ethwire)
4. [ethdb](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/tree/master/ethdb)
5. [ethutil](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/tree/master/ethutil)
6. [ethpipe](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/tree/master/ethpipe)
7. [ethvm](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/tree/master/ethvm)
8. [ethtrie](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/tree/master/ethtrie)
9. [ethreact](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/tree/master/ethreact)
10. [ethlog](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/tree/master/ethlog)
The [eth](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum) is the top-level package
of the Ethereum protocol. It functions as the Ethereum bootstrapping and
peer communication layer. The [ethchain](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/tree/master/ethchain)
contains the Ethereum blockchain, block manager, transaction and
transaction handlers. The [ethwire](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/tree/master/ethwire) contains
the Ethereum [wire protocol](http://wiki.ethereum.org/index.php/Wire_Protocol) which can be used
to hook in to the Ethereum network. [ethutil](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/tree/master/ethutil) contains
utility functions which are not Ethereum specific. The utility package
contains the [patricia trie](http://wiki.ethereum.org/index.php/Patricia_Tree),
[RLP Encoding](http://wiki.ethereum.org/index.php/RLP) and hex encoding
helpers. The [ethdb](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/tree/master/ethdb) package
contains the LevelDB interface and memory DB interface.
Go Ethereum comes with several binaries found in
[cmd](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/tree/master/cmd):
* `mist` Official Ethereum Browser
* `ethereum` Ethereum CLI
* `ethtest` test tool which runs with the [tests](https://github.com/ethereum/testes) suit:
`ethtest "`cat myfile.json`"`.
* `evm` is a generic Ethereum Virtual Machine: `evm -code 60ff60ff -gas
10000 -price 0 -dump`. See `-h` for a detailed description.
