NAME¶

SYNOPSIS¶

dhtnode [-v [-l logfile]] [-i] [-d] [-n network_id] [-p local_port] [-b bootstrap_host[:port]]

DESCRIPTION¶

h, help Print this help message. q, quit Quit the program. log Start/stop printing DHT logs.

Node information: ll Print basic information and stats about the current node. ls Print basic information about current searches. ld Print basic information about currenty stored values on this node. lr Print the full current routing table of this node

Operations on the DHT: b ip:port Ping potential node at given IP address/port. g [key] Get values at [key]. l [key] Listen for value changes at [key]. p [key] [str] Put string value at [key]. s [key] [str] Put string value at [key], signed with our generated private key. e [key] [dest] [str] Put string value at [key], encrypted for [dest] with its public key (if found).

OPTIONS¶

-h

Prints some help.

-v

Enable the verbose mode (log to stdout by default)

-l log_file

Write log to file instead of stdout

-i

Generate cryptographic identity for the node.

-d

Run the program in daemon mode (will fork in the background).

-n network_id

Specify the network id. This let you connect to distinct networks and prevents the merge of two different networks (available since OpenDHT v0.6.1).

-p local_port

Use port local_port for the program to bind to.

-b bootstrap_host[:port]

The program needs to be given a node to connect to the network. You use this option to provide the ip address of that node.
