ipns: IPNS name

In jeroen/ipfs: Connect to the Inter Planetary File System

Description

IPNS is a PKI namespace, where names are the hashes of public keys, and the private key enables publishing new (signed) values. In publish, the default value of <name> is your own identity public key.

Usage

ipfs_resolve(name = NULL, recursive = FALSE, nocache = FALSE)

ipfs_publish(path, lifetime = "24h")

Arguments

name	the IPNS name (owner) to resolve. Defaults to your own name
recursive	resolve until the result is not an IPNS name
nocache	do not use cached entries
path	IPFS path of the object to be published under your name
lifetime	Time duration that the record will be valid for. This accepts durations such as "300s", "1.5h" or "2h45m".
