IPFS ipfs = new IPFS("/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/5001");

Then run commands like:

ipfs.refs.local();

To add a file use:

NamedStreamable.FileWrapper file = new NamedStreamable.FileWrapper(new File("hello.txt"));
MerkleNode addResult = ipfs.add(file);

To add a byte[] use:

NamedStreamable.ByteArrayWrapper file = new NamedStreamable.ByteArrayWrapper("hello.txt", "G'day world! IPFS rocks!".getBytes());
MerkleNode addResult = ipfs.add(file);

To get a file use:

Multihash filePointer = Multihash.fromBase58("QmPZ9gcCEpqKTo6aq61g2nXGUhM4iCL3ewB6LDXZCtioEB");
byte[] fileContents = ipfs.cat(filePointer);

##Building

To build just run make. There are no dependencies, just include the resulting IPFS.jar in your project.

To run tests use make tests.
