ndnputchunks is a producer program that reads a file from the standard input, and makes it available as a set of NDN Data segments. It appends version and segment number components to the specified name as needed, according to the NDN naming conventions.
Files published by ndnputchunks can be fetched with ndnget.
The following command will publish the text of the GPL-3 license under the /localhost/demo/gpl3 prefix:
ndnputchunks /localhost/demo/gpl3 < /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-3
To find the published version you have to start ndnputchunks with the -p command line option, for example:
ndnputchunks -p /localhost/demo/gpl3 < /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-3
This command will print the published version to standard output.
To publish Data with a specific version, you need to append a version component to the end of the prefix. The version component must follow the aforementioned NDN naming conventions. For example, the following command will publish the version 1449078495094 of the /localhost/demo/gpl3 prefix:
ndnputchunks -Nt /localhost/demo/gpl3/v=1449078495094 < /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-3
If the specified version component is not valid, ndnputchunks will exit with an error. If no version component is specified, one will be generated and appended to the name.
