       --path <path>

           path doesn’t exist, and it’s parent directory does, the file will be downloaded to a specified file
           (this only works if you specify exactly one remote path).

           If <path> is -, remote file will be streamed to stdout.

       --no-progress
           Disable download progress reporting. This is implied when streaming.

       -u <email>, --username <email>
           Account username (email)

       --disable-previews
           Never generate and upload file previews, when uploading new files

       --reload
           Reload filesystem cache

       --debug [<options>]
           Enable debugging of various aspects of the megatools operation. You may enable multiple debugging
           options separated by commas. (eg.  --debug api,fs)

           •   api: Dump Mega.nz API calls

           •   cache: Dump cache contents

       --version
           Show version information

       <remotepaths>
           One or more remote files to download.

       <remotefile>
           Remote path to a single file to stream.

               $ megals /Root

               /Root
               /Root/README

               $ megaget /Root/README
               $ ls

REMOTE FILESYSTEM

       Mega.nz filesystem is represented as a tree of nodes of various types. Nodes are identified by a 8
       character node handles (eg. 7Fdi3ZjC). Structure of the filesystem is not encrypted.

       Megatools maps node tree structure to a traditional filesystem paths (eg. /Root/SomeFile.DAT).

       NOTE: By the nature of Mega.nz storage, several files in the directory can have the same name. To allow
       access to such files, the names of conflicting files are extended by appending dot and their node handle
       like this:

           /Root/conflictingfile
           /Root/conflictingfile.7Fdi3ZjC
           /Root/conflictingfile.mEU23aSD

       You need to be aware of several special folders:

       /Root
           Writable directory representing the root of the filesystem.

       /Trash
           Trash directory where Mega.nz web client moves deleted files. This directory is not used by megatools
           when removing files.

       /Inbox
           Not sure.

       /Contacts
           Directory containing subdirectories representing your contacts list. If you want to add contacts to
           the list, simply create subdirectory named after the contact you want to add.

       /Contacts/<email>
           Directories representing individual contacts in your contacts list. These directories contain folders
           that others shared with you. All shared files are read-only, at the moment.
