💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is desync-info, bestie — it's the page from the desync(1) manual that literally just shows you information about an index. that's the whole vibe. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

desync info <index> [flags]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So you've got an index and you wanna know what's in it? Say less. This command displays info about the index you hand it — like how many chunks there are and the total size of the unique chunks that aren't available in the seed. 💅

Pass in a store too and it'll also spill how many of those chunks are actually present in the store. And if you give it a chunks info file (the kind inspect-chunks generates), it unlocks even more tea — like the size of compressed chunks that are in neither the seed nor the cache. 😮‍💨

Providing one or more seed indexes? Obsessed — it'll show you the number of chunks available in the seeds as well. 🫶

✨ hot tip: use - to read the index from STDIN. she's flexible like that.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --ca-cert="" — trust authorities in this file instead of the OS trust store 🎀
  • -c, --cache="" — the store to be used as cache
  • -r, --cache-repair[=true] — replace invalid chunks in the cache from the source, no cap 🔥
  • --chunks-info="" — a json file with additional chunks info
  • --client-cert="" — path to the client certificate for TLS authentication
  • --client-key="" — path to the client key for TLS authentication
  • -n, --concurrency=10 — number of concurrent goroutines, or -1 to let desync choose: the number of CPUs for chunking and hashing, adapting to each store up to 128 for transfers 🧚
  • -e, --error-retry=3 — how many times to retry in case of a network error
  • -b, --error-retry-base-interval=500ms — initial retry delay, and it increases linearly with each subsequent attempt ⭐
  • -f, --format="json" — output format, plain or json
  • -h, --help[=false] — help for info
  • --seed=[] — seed indexes
  • -s, --store=[] — source store(s)
  • -t, --trust-insecure[=false] — trust invalid certificates 🙈

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

  • --config="" — config file (default $HOME/.config/desync/config.json)
  • --digest="sha512-256" — digest algorithm, sha512-256 or sha256
  • --verbose[=false] — verbose mode

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

  desync info -s /path/to/local --format=json file.caibx
  desync info --seed http://192.168.1.1/rootfs2.caibx --chunks-info chunks.json --format=json rootfs.caibx

like, literally just copy-paste these and you're main character energy fr fr 💜
