C-IPFS

IPFS implementation in C, (not just an API client library).

Quick start for users:

  • ipfs init to create an ipfs repository on your machine
  • ipfs add MyFile.txt to add a file to the repository, will return with a hash that can be used to retrieve the file.
  • ipfs cat [hash] to retrieve a file from the repository

For techies:

getting started: https://github.com/ipfs/specs/blob/master/overviews/implement-ipfs.md specifications: https://github.com/ipfs/specs getting started: https://github.com/ipfs/community/issues/177 libp2p: https://github.com/libp2p/specs

Prerequisites: To compile the C version you will need:

lmdb https://github.com/jmjatlanta/lmdb c-protobuf https://github.com/Agorise/c-protobuf c-multihash https://github.com/Agorise/c-multihash c-multiaddr https://github.com/Agorise/c-multiaddr c-libp2p https://github.com/Agorise/c-libp2p

And of course this project at https://github.com/Agorise/c-ipfs

The compilation at this point is simple, but not very flexible. Place all of these projects in a directory. Compile all (the order above is recommended) by going into each one and running "make all".
