// Package ifcounters provides the helper API for decoding VnetInterfaceCounters binary API message
// that contains binary-encoded statistics data into the Go structs that are better consumable by the Go code.
-// TODO: example usage - currently in the example_client.go
+//
+// VPP provides two types of interface counters that can be encoded inside of a single VnetInterfaceCounters
+// message: simple and combined. For both of them, ifcounters API provides a separate decode function:
+// DecodeCounters or DecodeCombinedCounters. The functions return a slice of simple or combined counters respectively:
+//
+// notifMsg := <-notifChan:
+// notif := notifMsg.(*interfaces.VnetInterfaceCounters)
+//
+// if notif.IsCombined == 0 {
+// // simple counter
+// counters, err := ifcounters.DecodeCounters(ifcounters.VnetInterfaceCounters(*notif))
+// if err != nil {
+// fmt.Println("Error:", err)
+// } else {
+// fmt.Printf("%+v\n", counters)
+// }
+// } else {
+// // combined counter
+// counters, err := ifcounters.DecodeCombinedCounters(ifcounters.VnetInterfaceCounters(*notif))
+// if err != nil {
+// fmt.Println("Error:", err)
+// } else {
+// fmt.Printf("%+v\n", counters)
+// }
