To use Elcid, you can either encode or decode CIDs.

To encode content into a CID, use the following command:

echo "<content>" | elcid -type <input_type> e

The available input types are:

• zcash-block
• zcash-tx
• bitcoin-block
• bitcoin-tx
• eth-block
• eth-tx

To decode a CID, use the following command:

echo "<cid>" | elcid d

The output will contain the codec name, multihash type, and raw hash of the CID.
