Pakket: ipfs-cid (0.0~git20200813.59cf068-2 en anderen)

CLI tool to generate CIDs without a full IPFS client

The intent of the tools is to be for CID generation/verification only. It is not in any way an IPFS client.

The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a protocol and peer-to-peer network for storing and sharing data in a distributed file system. IPFS uses content-addressing to uniquely identify each file in a global namespace connecting all computing devices.[

A content identifier, or CID, is a label used to point to material in IPFS. It doesn't indicate where the content is stored, but it forms a kind of address based on the content itself. CIDs are short, regardless of the size of their underlying content.
