NAME

       dhtnode - a simple OpenDHT command line node runner.

SYNOPSIS

       dhtnode  [-h] [-v [-l logfile] [-L]] [-i [--save-identity file]] [-d] [-s] [-n network_id]
       [-p  local_port]  [-b  bootstrap_host[:port]]  [--certificate   file]   [--privkey   file]
       [--privkey-password password] [--proxyserver port] [--proxyclient server]

DESCRIPTION

       Runs  an  OpenDHT node, with a CLI (default) or as a daemon (with '-d' or '-s').  Commands
       available in the interactive shell are:
           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/stderr by default)

       -l log_file
              Write log to file instead of stdout/stderr

       -L     Write log to syslog instead of stdout/stderr

       -i     Generate cryptographic identity for the node.

       --save-identity file
              Save generated identity (certificate and private key) to given file prefix.

       --certificate file
              Load identity certificate from given file.

       --privkey file
              Load identity private key from given file.

       --privkey-password password
              Password to use for private key encryption or decryption (optional).

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

       -s     Run the program in service mode (non-forking daemon).

       -D     Enables multicast automatic local peer discovery.

       -f file
              Specify a file path to persist/load the node state.

       -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 UDP 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.

       --proxyserver local_port
              Run a proxy server bound to this DHT node on HTTP port local_port

       --proxyclient server
              Run this DHT node in proxy client mode, and connect to server
