Options:

-p, --port <port> port to run on [optional]
-k, --key <key> dht key [required on client]
-m, --mount <path> mount path for fuse
-r, --repl use repl to access files
-a, --address <addr> local ip address for mount
-l, --local don't use hyperswarm, to share on local devices
-w, --allowWrite when using mount allow client all permissions. default READ-ONLY
-v, --version print version
-h, --help display help for command

Repl Commands:
.status                        print status
.ls                            print contents of current directory
.cd <path>                     chagne directory
.cp <path> <file system path>  copy files and directory
.cat <filename>                print contents of file
.help                          print help
.exit                          exit repl

ToDo:

• handle more sophisticated commands in repl
• add completer in repl

Limits:

• when downloading tar packed dir in browser, tar gets corrupted if one of the file size is more than 8GB. GitHub issue
• when using repl to copy directories is uses fs-stream.
