Description

fcp is a very minimal and somewhat simplistic interface to the Freenet FCP library. Freenet documentation can be found here Freenet and FCP is documented hereFCPv2.

Author

Matt Welland is the author of the fcp chicken egg. Freenet and the Freenet client protocol (FCPv2) were written by Ian Clarke and others.

Repository

The fossil repository for the fcp source code is hosted by Kiatoa: https://www.kiatoa.com/fossils/freenet.

Requirements

You will need to install Freenet on the same machine where the fcp calls are made. If Freenet is running on another machine you'll need to configure it accordingly.

Parameters

verbosity

[procedure] (verbosity number)

Turn up the noise. Default is 0 (minimal feedback but still some on std-out).

Procedures

retrieve-file

[procedure] (retrieve-file URI dir file)

Download the content of URI into file in dir. See Freenet documentation for URI format and information.

insert-file

[procedure] (insert-file dir file [URI])

Insert file residing in dir into Freenet. A URI will be returned. To insert SSK, USK and KSK (I believe KSK will work) provide the URI.

gen-ssk

[procedure] (gen-ssk)

Create a URI to use in insert-file. Returns the private and publish URI strings along with other info in an alist.

Example

(insert-file "/tmp" "ten-habits.pdf")
