a testing framework for the dht in IPFS

#DhtHell

DhtHell is a program used to test out ipfs's DHT and other features, you can run it as a simple command line, and run all the commands you want yourself, or you can give it a config/command file to set up the initial network how you like, and maybe even run some commands for you.

##Command File Syntax The first line of the command file specifies the number of nodes to create. Following that line, and until a line containing "--" is reached, you may specify bootstrapping orders with the following syntax: [range]->[range] where range is a number or set of numbers in one of the following forms: by itself: 'X', single number list: '[X]' or full inclusive range: '[X-Y]'

For Example:

[1-4]->0

Specifies that nodes 1 through 4 should use node 0 as a boostrapping node.

Following the break sequence ("--") you may specify commands to run with the following syntax:

node# command args

For example:

4 put test hello

Would tell node 4 to run a put of the value "hello" for the key "test"

The Sequence "==" signals to switch input over to standard in, allowing the user to manually enter commands

Commands

Get: Args: key

Store: Args: key, val

Provide: Args: key

Diag: Args: none!

FindProv: Args: key
