Mutable File System
===================

The Mutable File System (MFS) is a virtual file system on top of IPFS that exposes a Unix like API over a virtual directory. It enables users to write and read from paths without having to worry about updating the graph. It enables things like [ipfs-blob-store](https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-blob-store) to exist.


#### `cp`

> Copy files.
##### `Go` **WIP**

##### `JavaScript` - ipfs.files.cp([from, to], [callback])

Where:

- `from` is the path of the source object to copy.
- `to` is the path of the destination object to copy to.

`callback` must follow the `function (err) {}` signature, where `err` is an Error if the operation was not successful.

If no `callback` is passed, a promise is returned.

**Example:**

```JavaScript
ipfs.files.cp(['/src-file', '/dst-file'], (err) => {
if (err) {
console.error(err)
}
})
```

#### `mkdir`

> Make a directory.
##### `Go` **WIP**

##### `JavaScript` - ipfs.files.mkdir(path, [options, callback])

Where:

- `path` is the path to the directory to make.
- `options` is an optional Object that might contain the following keys:
- `parents` is a Boolean value to decide whether or not to make the parent directories if they don't exist.

`callback` must follow the `function (err) {}` signature, where `err` is an Error if the operation was not successful.

If no `callback` is passed, a promise is returned.

**Example:**

```JavaScript
ipfs.files.mkdir('/my/beautiful/directory', (err) => {
if (err) {
console.error(err)
}
})
```

#### `stat`

> Get file or directory status.
##### `Go` **WIP**

##### `JavaScript` - ipfs.files.stat(path, [options, callback])

Where:

- `path` is the path to the directory to make.
- `options` is an optional Object that might contain the following keys:
- `hash` is a Boolean value to return only the hash.
- `size` is a Boolean value to return only the size.

`callback` must follow the `function (err, stat) {}` signature, where `err` is an Error if the operation was not successful and `stat` is an Object with the following keys:

- `hash` is a string with the hash.
- `size` is an integer with the size in Bytes.
- `cumulativeSize` is an integer with the cumulative size in Bytes.
- `blocks` is an integer indicating the number of blocks.
- `type` is a string that can be either `directory` or `file`.

If no `callback` is passed, a promise is returned.

**Example:**

```JavaScript
ipfs.files.stat('/file.txt', (err, stats) => {
console.log(stats)
})

// {
// hash: 'QmXmJBmnYqXVuicUfn9uDCC8kxCEEzQpsAbeq1iJvLAmVs',
// size: 60,
// cumulativeSize: 118,
// blocks: 1,
// type: 'file'
// }
```

#### `rm`

> Remove a file or directory.
##### `Go` **WIP**

##### `JavaScript` - ipfs.files.rm(path, [options, callback])

Where:

- `path` is the path of the object to remove.
- `options` is an optional Object that might contain the following keys:
- `recursive` is a Boolean value to decide whether or not to remove directories recursively.

`callback` must follow the `function (err) {}` signature, where `err` is an Error if the operation was not successful.

If no `callback` is passed, a promise is returned.

**Example:**

```JavaScript
// To remove a file
ipfs.files.mkdir('/my/beautiful/file.txt', (err) => {
if (err) {
console.error(err)
}
})

// To remove a directory
ipfs.files.mkdir('/my/beautiful/directory', { recursive: true }, (err) => {
if (err) {
console.error(err)
}
})
```

#### `read`

> Read a file.
##### `Go` **WIP**

##### `JavaScript` - ipfs.files.read(path, [options, callback])

Where:

- `path` is the path of the object to read.
- `options` is an optional Object that might contain the following keys:
- `offset` is an Integer with the byte offset to begin reading from.
- `count` is an Integer with the maximum number of bytes to read.

`callback` must follow the `function (err, buf) {}` signature, where `err` is an Error if the operation was not successful and `buf` is a Buffer with the contents of `path`.

If no `callback` is passed, a promise is returned.

**Example:**

```JavaScript
ipfs.files.read('/hello-world', (err, buf) => {
console.log(buf.toString())
})

// Hello, World!
```

#### `write`

> Write to a file.
##### `Go` **WIP**

##### `JavaScript` - ipfs.files.write(path, content, [options, callback])

Where:

- `path` is the path of the object to write.
- `content` can be:
- a Buffer instance.
- a Path (caveat: will only work in Node.js).
- `options` is an optional Object that might contain the following keys:
- `offset` is an Integer with the byte offset to begin writing at.
- `create` is a Boolean to indicate to create the file if it doesn't exist.
- `truncate` is a Boolean to indicate if the file should be truncated to size 0 before writing.
- `count` is an Integer with the maximum number of bytes to read.

`callback` must follow the `function (err) {}` signature, where `err` is an Error if the operation was not successful.

If no `callback` is passed, a promise is returned.

**Example:**

```JavaScript
ipfs.files.write('/hello-world', Buffer.from('Hello, world!'), (err) => {
console.log(err)
})
```

#### `mv`

> Move files.
##### `Go` **WIP**

##### `JavaScript` - ipfs.files.mv([from, to], [callback])

Where:

- `from` is the path of the source object to move.
- `to` is the path of the destination object to move to.

`callback` must follow the `function (err) {}` signature, where `err` is an Error if the operation was not successful.

If no `callback` is passed, a promise is returned.

**Example:**

```JavaScript
ipfs.files.mv(['/src-file', '/dst-file'], (err) => {
if (err) {
console.error(err)
}
})
```

#### `flush`

> Flush a given path's data to the disk
##### `Go` **WIP**

##### `JavaScript` - ipfs.files.flush([path, callback])

Where:

- `path` is the path to flush. Default is `/`.

`callback` must follow the `function (err) {}` signature, where `err` is an Error if the operation was not successful.

If no `callback` is passed, a promise is returned.

**Example:**

```JavaScript
ipfs.files.flush('/', (err) => {
if (err) {
console.error(err)
}
})
```

#### `ls`

> List directories in the local mutable namespace.
##### `Go` **WIP**

##### `JavaScript` - ipfs.files.ls([path, options, callback])

Where:

- `path` is the path to show listing for. Defaults to `/`.
- `options` is an optional Object that might contain the following keys:
- `l` is a Boolean value o use long listing format.

`callback` must follow `function (err, files) {}` signature, where `err` is an error if the operation was not successful. `files` is an array containing Objects that contain the following keys:

- `name` which is the file's name.
- `type` which i the object's type (`directory` or `file`).
- `size` the size of the file in bytes.
- `hash` the hash of the file.

If no `callback` is passed, a promise is returned.

**Example:**

```JavaScript
ipfs.files.ls('/screenshots', function (err, files) {
files.forEach((file) => {
console.log(file.name)
})
