rs-ipfs-car

Wrapper for rs-car to read files from IPFS trustless gateways with an async API

lib usage

• To read a single file buffering the block dag [single_file::read_single_file_buffer]
• To read a single file without buffering the block dag [single_file::read_single_file_seek]

bin usage

cargo install rs-car-ipfs

car-ipfs reads a CAR stream from stdin and outputs the file contents to stdout

curl "http://localhost:8080/ipfs/QmV3q6mo8oxf2GBuvR7zx7ABFBNP5VrRs3sCr63HQ7kEFC?format=car" | car-ipfs

On an Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8250U CPU @ 1.60GHz bin car-ipfs achieves 75,0MiB/s of throughput.

Roadmap

• [x] Read CAR for single file buffering all blocks in memory
• [x] Read CAR for single file without buffering blocks in memory
• [ ] Read CAR for multiple files and directories and write to disk
