STASHER README

|
-----------------------
|
||
|
INSTALLING STASHER
|
||
|
|
||
|
To install stasher, just make sure you've got the latest cvs, then type
|
||
|
python setup.py install
|
||
|
|
||
|
This installs the stasher engine, plus a wrapper client script called
|
||
|
'stasher', which setup.py will install into your execution path.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Test your installation by typing 'stasher -h' - this should display
|
||
|
a help message.
|
||
|
|
||
|
------------------------
|
||
|
DOZE USERS PLEASE NOTE
|
||
|
|
||
|
You'll need to watch and see where the stasher.py
|
||
|
wrapper script gets installed. On my box, it ends up on d:\python23\scripts,
|
||
|
but on your box it'll likely go into c:\python23\scripts.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You may either update your system PATH environment variable to include your
|
||
|
python scripts directory, OR, you can copy stasher.py to anywhere that's
|
||
|
on your path.
|
||
|
|
||
|
In the explanations below, note that wherever I say to type 'stasher', you'll
|
||
|
need to type 'stasher.py' instead.
|
||
|

|
WARNING
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is a very early pre-alpha test version of stasher.
|
||
|
It is only capable of storing or retrieving files of
|
||
|
less than 29k in size.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Also, files are totally insecure - anyone can overwrite any keys you
|
||
|
insert, and vice versa.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I'll be adding support for CHK-like and SSK-like keys in due course.
|
||

USING STASHER
|
||
|
|
||
|
To see stasher's options, type:
|
||
|
|
||
|
stasher -h
|
||
|
|
||
|
This should dump out a verbose help message.
|
||
|
|
||
|
To start a stasher node, type:
|
||
|
|
||
|
stasher start
|
||
|
|
||
|
To shut down a stasher node, type:
|
||
|
|
||
|
stasher stop
|
||
|
|
||
|
To insert a file into stasher, type:
|
||
|
|
||
|
stasher put mykey myfile
|
||
|
|
||
|
Note, if you don't supply a filename, stasher can read
|
||
|
the file from standard input.
|
||
|
|
||
|
To retrieve a file from stasher, type:
|
||
|
|
||
|
stasher get mykey
|
||
|
