Usage

redstore [options] [<name>]
   -p <port>       Port number to run HTTP server on (default 8080)
   -b <address>    Bind to specific address (default all)
   -s <type>       Set the graph storage type (default hashes)
   -t <options>    Storage options
   -n              Create a new store / replace old (default no)
   -f <filename>   Input file to load at startup
   -F <format>     Format of the input file (default guess)
   -v              Enable verbose mode
   -q              Enable quiet mode

Start RedStore on port 8080, bound to localhost, using a new sqlite store:

redstore -p 8080 -b localhost -n -s sqlite

Load a URI into the triplestore:

curl --data uri=http://example.com/file.rdf http://localhost:8080/load

Add a file to the triplestore:

curl -T foaf.rdf 'http://localhost:8080/data/foaf.rdf'

Add a file to the triplestore with full URI specified:

curl -T foaf.rdf 'http://localhost:8080/data/?graph=http://example.com/foaf.rdf'

Add a file to the triplestore with type specified:

curl -T foaf.ttl -H 'Content-Type: application/x-turtle' 'http://localhost:8080/data/foaf.rdf'

You can delete graphs with in the same manner, using the DELETE HTTP verb:

curl -X DELETE 'http://localhost:8080/data/foaf.rdf'

Query using the SPARQL Query Tool:

sparql-query http://localhost:8080/sparql 'SELECT * WHERE { ?s ?p ?o } LIMIT 10'
