ssbget.c

Get a SSB message from scuttlebot's flumedb on your filesystem. Reads log.offset and keys.ht (flumeview-hashtable) from ~/.ssb/flume and ~/.ssb/ooo. It does not connect to scuttlebot RPC or do network operations.

Install

wget -qO ssbget.c 'http://localhost:8989/blobs/get/&BovbI2zpAJnrAwQvrb3GAkN9JzBSn6pPvwDO6w/I4ks=.sha256'
cc ssbget.c -o ssbget
mv ssbget ~/.local/bin/ # or somewhere

Usage

ssbget <msg_id>

Environmental variables ssb_path or ssb_appname may be used to specify a different base directory than ~/.ssb.

Example

$ ssbget %HsB1YeYB0SmURYjm4WMLMKjlyBVsU26VarolJ1VhTr8=.sha256
{"key":"%HsB1YeYB0SmURYjm4WMLMKjlyBVsU26VarolJ1VhTr8=.sha256","value":{"previous":"%HeAz/YiYTQR4ZLSZ8+6YxwR8z2kXNMEGiLQ/g6ilehQ=.sha256","author":"@f/6sQ6d2CMxRUhLpspgGIulDxDCwYD7DzFzPNr7u5AU=.ed25519","sequence":4145,"timestamp":1486932021493,"hash":"sha256","content":{"type":"lol"},"signature":"Sq3bFKK0sOuI+eXr2vXHbNB28a8NWnRLQoRcJOHhPD4O/DBN2U8Vbbqnauc3brJNG4V6W/Ti6B704X849CUnBw==.sig.ed25519"},"timestamp":1506393246000}

Nice. I like!

@cel This looks great!

One comment though, I know c isn't really about camel case, but if do ssb_get it's easy to do a 1:1 map in both directions... I bet if things are consistent it will be easy to convert this into bindings, or something.

Aha, see you are doing an in-place read of json the json key - the "key" property, which conveniently happens to be the first key. I've also been wondering how fast reading json in place would be - not parsing into a data structure, just scanning past, validating, until you find the thing you were looking for.
