✨ NAME ✨

Okay bestie, this is desync(1) — and the star of this page is desync-make, the command that chunks your input file and creates an index. Iconic behavior, honestly. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

desync make <index> <file> [flags]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so, desync make creates chunks from the input file and builds an index. If a chunk store is provided with -s — like a local directory or an S3 store — it splits the input file according to the index and stores the chunks. And bestie, use - to write the index to STDOUT. That tiny dash is doing main character work. 🫶

  • -r, --cache-repair[=true] — replace invalid chunks in the cache from source. cleanup era 🧹
  • -m, --chunk-size="16:64:256" — min:avg:max chunk size in kb. the chunk math is mathing 🔥

  • --client-key="" — path to client key for TLS authentication. the other half of the TLS slay 🦋
  • -n, --concurrency=10 — number of concurrent goroutines, -1 to let desync choose: the number of CPUs for chunking and hashing, adapting to each store up to 128 for transfers. parallel vibes ⚡
  • -e, --error-retry=3 — number of times to retry in case of network error. network said nope? try again 🔁
  • -b, --error-retry-base-interval=500ms — initial retry delay, increases linearly with each subsequent attempt. the patience is linear ⏳
  • -h, --help[=false] — help for make. the classic 🫶
  • --print-stats[=false] — print chunking statistics to stderr when done. receipts at the end 🧾
  • -s, --store="" — target store. where the chunks live 🏠
  • -t, --trust-insecure[=false] — trust invalid certificates. bestie, it literally says trust invalid certificates — proceed with the dramatic awareness it deserves ⚠️
