客户端命令

注意： IPFS可以在“在线”（您将IPFS作为实例单独运行）或“离线”模式运行，但某些命令仅在联机时支持。例如，ipfs swarm peers仅在在线模式下工作，因为如果您处于离线状态，则根本不会连接到群。有关将IPFS作为示例运行的更多信息，请参阅使用文档中的“联机”。

DESCRIPTION

  Adds contents of  to ipfs. Use -r to add directories.
  Note that directories are added recursively, to form the ipfs
  MerkleDAG.

  The wrap option, '-w', wraps the file (or files, if using the
  recursive option) in a directory. This directory contains only
  the files which have been added, and means that the file retains
  its filename. For example:

    > ipfs add example.jpg
    added QmbFMke1KXqnYyBBWxB74N4c5SBnJMVAiMNRcGu6x1AwQH example.jpg
    > ipfs add example.jpg -w
    added QmbFMke1KXqnYyBBWxB74N4c5SBnJMVAiMNRcGu6x1AwQH example.jpg
    added QmaG4FuMqEBnQNn3C8XJ5bpW8kLs7zq2ZXgHptJHbKDDVx

  You can now refer to the added file in a gateway, like so:

    /ipfs/QmaG4FuMqEBnQNn3C8XJ5bpW8kLs7zq2ZXgHptJHbKDDVx/example.jpg

  The chunker option, '-s', specifies the chunking strategy that dictates
  how to break files into blocks. Blocks with same content can
  be deduplicated. The default is a fixed block size of
  256 * 1024 bytes, 'size-262144'. Alternatively, you can use the
  rabin chunker for content defined chunking by specifying
  rabin-[min]-[avg]-[max] (where min/avg/max refer to the resulting
  chunk sizes). Using other chunking strategies will produce
  different hashes for the same file.

    > ipfs add --chunker=size-2048 ipfs-logo.svg
    added QmafrLBfzRLV4XSH1XcaMMeaXEUhDJjmtDfsYU95TrWG87 ipfs-logo.svg

  --enable-mplex-experiment      bool   - Add the experimental 'go-multiplex' stream muxer to libp2p on construction. Default: true.

DESCRIPTION

  The daemon will start listening on ports on the network, which are
  documented in (and can be modified through) 'ipfs config Addresses'.
  For example, to change the 'Gateway' port:

    ipfs config Addresses.Gateway /ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/8082

  The API address can be changed the same way:

    ipfs config Addresses.API /ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/5002

  Make sure to restart the daemon after changing addresses.

  By default, the gateway is only accessible locally. To expose it to
  other computers in the network, use 0.0.0.0 as the ip address:

    ipfs config Addresses.Gateway /ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/8080

  Be careful if you expose the API. It is a security risk, as anyone could
  control your node remotely. If you need to control the node remotely,
  make sure to protect the port as you would other services or database
  (firewall, authenticated proxy, etc).

  HTTP Headers

  ipfs supports passing arbitrary headers to the API and Gateway. You can
  do this by setting headers on the API.HTTPHeaders and Gateway.HTTPHeaders
  keys:

    ipfs config --json API.HTTPHeaders.X-Special-Header '["so special :)"]'
    ipfs config --json Gateway.HTTPHeaders.X-Special-Header '["so special :)"]'

  Note that the value of the keys is an _array_ of strings. This is because
  headers can have more than one value, and it is convenient to pass through
  to other libraries.

  CORS Headers (for API)

  You can setup CORS headers the same way:

    ipfs config --json API.HTTPHeaders.Access-Control-Allow-Origin '["example.com"]'
    ipfs config --json API.HTTPHeaders.Access-Control-Allow-Methods '["PUT", "GET", "POST"]'
    ipfs config --json API.HTTPHeaders.Access-Control-Allow-Credentials '["true"]'

  Shutdown

  To shutdown the daemon, send a SIGINT signal to it (e.g. by pressing 'Ctrl-C')
  or send a SIGTERM signal to it (e.g. with 'kill'). It may take a while for the
  daemon to shutdown gracefully, but it can be killed forcibly by sending a
  second signal.

  IPFS_PATH environment variable

  ipfs uses a repository in the local file system. By default, the repo is
  located at ~/.ipfs. To change the repo location, set the $IPFS_PATH
  environment variable:

    export IPFS_PATH=/path/to/ipfsrepo

  Routing

  IPFS by default will use a DHT for content routing. There is a highly
  experimental alternative that operates the DHT in a 'client only' mode that
  can be enabled by running the daemon as:

    ipfs daemon --routing=dhtclient

  This will later be transitioned into a config option once it gets out of the
  'experimental' stage.

  DEPRECATION NOTICE

  Previously, ipfs used an environment variable as seen below:

    export API_ORIGIN="http://localhost:8888/"

  This is deprecated. It is still honored in this version, but will be removed
  in a future version, along with this notice. Please move to setting the HTTP
  Headers.

  ipfs dht findpeer ... - Query the DHT for all of the multiaddresses associated with a Peer ID.

SYNOPSIS
  ipfs dht findpeer [--verbose | -v] [--] ...

ARGUMENTS

  ... - The ID of the peer to search for.

OPTIONS

  -v, --verbose bool - Print extra information.

DESCRIPTION

  Outputs a list of newline-delimited multiaddresses.

ipfs dht findprovs

USAGE
  ipfs dht findprovs ... - Find peers in the DHT that can provide a specific value, given a key.

SYNOPSIS
  ipfs dht findprovs [--verbose | -v] [--num-providers= | -n] [--] ...

ARGUMENTS

  ... - The key to find providers for.

OPTIONS

  -v, --verbose       bool - Print extra information.
  -n, --num-providers int  - The number of providers to find. Default: 20.

DESCRIPTION

  Outputs a list of newline-delimited provider Peer IDs.

ipfs dht get

USAGE
  ipfs dht get ... - Given a key, query the DHT for its best value.

SYNOPSIS
  ipfs dht get [--verbose | -v] [--] ...

ARGUMENTS

  ... - The key to find a value for.

OPTIONS

  -v, --verbose bool - Print extra information.

DESCRIPTION

  Outputs the best value for the given key.

  There may be several different values for a given key stored in the DHT; in
  this context 'best' means the record that is most desirable. There is no one
  metric for 'best': it depends entirely on the key type. For IPNS, 'best' is
  the record that is both valid and has the highest sequence number (freshest).
  Different key types can specify other 'best' rules.

ipfs dht provide

USAGE
  ipfs dht provide ... - Announce to the network that you are providing given values.

SYNOPSIS
  ipfs dht provide [--verbose | -v] [--recursive | -r] [--] ...

ARGUMENTS

  ... - The key[s] to send provide records for.

OPTIONS

  -v, --verbose   bool - Print extra information.
  -r, --recursive bool - Recursively provide entire graph.

ipfs dht put

USAGE
  ipfs dht put   - Write a key/value pair to the DHT.

SYNOPSIS
  ipfs dht put [--verbose | -v] [--]  

ARGUMENTS

     - The key to store the value at.
   - The value to store.

OPTIONS

  -v, --verbose bool - Print extra information.

DESCRIPTION

  Given a key of the form /foo/bar and a value of any form, this will write that
  value to the DHT with that key.

  Keys have two parts: a keytype (foo) and the key name (bar). IPNS uses the
  /ipns keytype, and expects the key name to be a Peer ID. IPNS entries are
  specifically formatted (protocol buffer).

  You may only use keytypes that are supported in your ipfs binary: currently
  this is only /ipns. Unless you have a relatively deep understanding of the
  go-ipfs DHT internals, you likely want to be using 'ipfs name publish' instead
  of this.

  Value is arbitrary text. Standard input can be used to provide value.

  NOTE: A value may not exceed 2048 bytes.

ipfs dns

USAGE
  ipfs dns  - Resolve DNS links.

SYNOPSIS
  ipfs dns [--recursive | -r] [--] 

ARGUMENTS

   - The domain-name name to resolve.

OPTIONS

  -r, --recursive bool - Resolve until the result is not a DNS link.

DESCRIPTION

  Multihashes are hard to remember, but domain names are usually easy to
  remember.  To create memorable aliases for multihashes, DNS TXT
  records can point to other DNS links, IPFS objects, IPNS keys, etc.
  This command resolves those links to the referenced object.

  For example, with this DNS TXT record:

  	> dig +short TXT _dnslink.ipfs.io
  	dnslink=/ipfs/QmRzTuh2Lpuz7Gr39stNr6mTFdqAghsZec1JoUnfySUzcy

  The resolver will give:

  	> ipfs dns ipfs.io
  	/ipfs/QmRzTuh2Lpuz7Gr39stNr6mTFdqAghsZec1JoUnfySUzcy

  The resolver can recursively resolve:

  	> dig +short TXT recursive.ipfs.io
  	dnslink=/ipns/ipfs.io
  	> ipfs dns -r recursive.ipfs.io
  	/ipfs/QmRzTuh2Lpuz7Gr39stNr6mTFdqAghsZec1JoUnfySUzcy

ipfs file

USAGE
  ipfs file - Interact with IPFS objects representing Unix filesystems.

SYNOPSIS
  ipfs file

DESCRIPTION

  'ipfs file' provides a familiar interface to file systems represented
  by IPFS objects, which hides ipfs implementation details like layout
  objects (e.g. fanout and chunking).

SUBCOMMANDS
  ipfs file ls ... - List directory contents for Unix filesystem objects.

  Use 'ipfs file  --help' for more information about each command.

ipfs file ls

USAGE
  ipfs file ls ... - List directory contents for Unix filesystem objects.

SYNOPSIS
  ipfs file ls [--] ...

ARGUMENTS

  ... - The path to the IPFS object(s) to list links from.

DESCRIPTION

  Displays the contents of an IPFS or IPNS object(s) at the given path.

  The JSON output contains size information. For files, the child size
  is the total size of the file contents. For directories, the child
  size is the IPFS link size.

  The path can be a prefixless ref; in this case, we assume it to be an
  /ipfs ref and not /ipns.

  Example:

      > ipfs file ls QmW2WQi7j6c7UgJTarActp7tDNikE4B2qXtFCfLPdsgaTQ
      cat.jpg
      > ipfs file ls /ipfs/QmW2WQi7j6c7UgJTarActp7tDNikE4B2qXtFCfLPdsgaTQ
      cat.jpg

  This functionality is deprecated, and will be removed in future versions. If
  possible, please use 'ipfs ls' instead.

ipfs files

USAGE
  ipfs files - Interact with unixfs files.

SYNOPSIS
  ipfs files [--f=false]

OPTIONS

  -f, --flush bool - Flush target and ancestors after write. Default: true.

DESCRIPTION

  Files is an API for manipulating IPFS objects as if they were a unix
  filesystem.

  NOTE:
  Most of the subcommands of 'ipfs files' accept the '--flush' flag. It defaults
  to true. Use caution when setting this flag to false. It will improve
  performance for large numbers of file operations, but it does so at the cost
  of consistency guarantees. If the daemon is unexpectedly killed before running
  'ipfs files flush' on the files in question, then data may be lost. This also
  applies to running 'ipfs repo gc' concurrently with '--flush=false'
  operations.

SUBCOMMANDS
  ipfs files chcid []      - Change the cid version or hash function of the root node of a given path.
  ipfs files cp    - Copy files into mfs.
  ipfs files flush []      - Flush a given path's data to disk.
  ipfs files ls []         - List directories in the local mutable namespace.
  ipfs files mkdir         - Make directories.
  ipfs files mv    - Move files.
  ipfs files read          - Read a file in a given mfs.
  ipfs files rm ...        - Remove a file.
  ipfs files stat          - Display file status.
  ipfs files write   - Write to a mutable file in a given filesystem.

  Use 'ipfs files  --help' for more information about each command.

ipfs files chcid

USAGE
  ipfs files chcid [] - Change the cid version or hash function of the root node of a given path.

SYNOPSIS
  ipfs files chcid [--cid-version= | --cid-ver] [--hash=] [--] []

ARGUMENTS

  [] - Path to change. Default: '/'.

OPTIONS

  --cid-ver, --cid-version int    - Cid version to use. (experimental).

  ipfs files write [--offset= | -o] [--create | -e] [--truncate | -t] [--count= | -n] [--raw-leaves] [--cid-version= | --cid-ver] [--hash=] [--]  

ARGUMENTS

   - Path to write to.
   - Data to write.

OPTIONS

  -o,         --offset      int    - Byte offset to begin writing at.
  -e,         --create      bool   - Create the file if it does not exist.
  -t,         --truncate    bool   - Truncate the file to size zero before writing.
  -n,         --count       int    - Maximum number of bytes to read.
  --raw-leaves              bool   - Use raw blocks for newly created leaf nodes. (experimental).

  --hash                    string - Hash function to use. Will set Cid version to 1 if used. (experimental).

DESCRIPTION

  Write data to a file in a given filesystem. This command allows you to specify
  a beginning offset to write to. The entire length of the input will be
  written.

  If the '--create' option is specified, the file will be created if it does not
  exist. Nonexistant intermediate directories will not be created.

  Newly created files will have the same CID version and hash function of the
  parent directory unless the --cid-version and --hash options are used.

  Newly created leaves will be in the legacy format (Protobuf) if the
  CID version is 0, or raw is the CID version is non-zero.  Use of the
  --raw-leaves option will override this behavior.

  If the '--flush' option is set to false, changes will not be propogated to the
  merkledag root. This can make operations much faster when doing a large number
  of writes to a deeper directory structure.

  EXAMPLE:

      echo "hello world" | ipfs files write --create /myfs/a/b/file
      echo "hello world" | ipfs files write --truncate /myfs/a/b/file

  WARNING:

  Usage of the '--flush=false' option does not guarantee data durability until
  the tree has been flushed. This can be accomplished by running 'ipfs files
  stat' on the file or any of its ancestors.

ipfs name

USAGE
  ipfs name - Publish and resolve IPNS names.

SYNOPSIS
  ipfs name

DESCRIPTION

  IPNS is a PKI namespace, where names are the hashes of public keys, and
  the private key enables publishing new (signed) values. In both publish
  and resolve, the default name used is the node's own PeerID,
  which is the hash of its public key.

  You can use the 'ipfs key' commands to list and generate more names and their
  respective keys.

  Examples:

  Publish an  with your default name:

    > ipfs name publish /ipfs/QmatmE9msSfkKxoffpHwNLNKgwZG8eT9Bud6YoPab52vpy
