***************************************
 Storing computer files in the system
***************************************

You can store files encrypted in the system as follows:

  file-import *.jpg

This will store all of the jpg files in the current directory to the system.

As of version Alpha_28 you can import files recursively using the -r or
--recursive option.  This command will import all of the files in the xyzzy
subdirectory:

  file-import -r xyzzy

As of version Alpha_29.6 the file names are case sensitive, so main.html and
Main.html are considered two different files.

Please note: it will not accept absolute paths, for example "/home/user" or
paths relative to the parent directory, for example "../whatever".

PLEASE ALSO READ THE WARNING ABOUT IMPORTING RECURSIVELY WITH BACKUP ENABLED AT
THE BEGINNING OF THIS FILE!!

You can adjust the security vs. speed using the following options:

 ** NOTE: In the Alpha_29.9 release I disabled the -xxxxx-security options! **
 **  I have now decided that I am not going to put them back in, at least   **
 **  not in the near future.                                                **


To retrieve the files from the system you can use the following command:

   file-export <file names>

You can export all the files stored as follows:

   file-export "*"   

You can verify files using the following command:

   file-verify <file names>

You can verify and then delete the files with the remove-min-shred option:

   file-verify --remove-min-shred <file names>

if you want them minimally shredded or

   file-verify --remove-no-shred <file names>

if you don't want them shredded.

File globbing only works in the file-list and file-export programs:

   file-export "whatever*.txt"

   file-list "*.jpg"

You can also get file-list to print the MD5 or SHA1 sums (but not at
the same time):

   file-list --md5 my_file.txt

In version Alpha_29.8 I added a program that goes through all files stored in
the system and verifies they are not corrupted.  To run it just type:

   file-check

Note: if you have a lot of files it can be very slow, possibly an hour or more.
