## README

# Manta client tools

[manta](http://joyent.github.com/node-manta) is a Node.js SDK for interacting
with Joyent's Manta system.

# Installation

    $ npm install manta -g

# Usage

First setup your environment to match your Joyent Manta account:

    $ export MANTA_KEY_ID=`ssh-keygen -l -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | awk '{print $2}' | tr -d '\n'`
    $ export MANTA_URL=https://us-east.manta.joyent.com 
    $ export MANTA_USER=mark

Then a code snippet:

    var assert = require('assert');
    var fs = require('fs');
    var manta = require('manta');

    var client = manta.createClient({
        sign: manta.privateKeySigner({
            key: fs.readFileSync(process.env.HOME + '/.ssh/id_rsa', 'utf8'),
            keyId: process.env.MANTA_KEY_ID,
            user: process.env.MANTA_USER
        }),
        user: process.env.MANTA_USER,
        url: process.env.MANTA_URL
    });
    console.log('manta ready: %s', client.toString());

    client.get('/mark/stor/foo', function (err, stream) {
        assert.ifError(err);

        stream.setEncoding('utf8');
        stream.on('data', function (chunk) {
            console.log(chunk);
        });
    });

# CLI

Basic commands include:

1. mls - lists directory contents, default /:user/stor
2. mput - uploads data to a Manta object
3. mget - downloads an object from Manta
4. mjob - creates and runs a computational job on Manta
5. mfind - walks a Manta hierarchy to find names of objects by name, size, or type

A full set of commands for interacting with Manta is in `bin`.
