ipfs mfs

Manipulate a filesystem rooted on an ipfs object

root options:
--session=name    The name of the session to operate on


ipfs mfs              # show mounted filesystems
ipfs mfs create name [... args] # create a new filesystem
ipfs mfs close name  # close and clean up a filesystem

ipfs mfs put /path/to/point <hash>  # this is basically the 'save' command from earlier
ipfs mfs rm /path/to/object/to/remove
ipfs mfs mv /path/to/src /path/to/dst
ipfs mfs ls /path/to/list [-l]
ipfs mfs write [offset] /path/to/file data #can either write data from a file, or pipe to stdin
ipfs mfs read [offset] /path/to/file
ipfs mfs mkdir /path/to/dir/to/make
ipfs mfs stat /path/to/file

WIP:
ipfs nsfs [lock/unlock] /path/to/lockee

could also call rename put to import

maybe mfs for mutable filesystem instead of nsfs if i'm making it more generic than ipns

i like mfs. or kfs (key-fs, as it's based on PKI).

well, its not necessarily based on pki anymore. all this interface really does it manage a filesystem based under an object and propogate updates via a generic 'publish' call. That publish could be just writing the hash to a file on disk, or it could be publishing to an ipns entry.
