Unified Path Namespace

In the strict UNIX philosophy, everything is a file. This breaks down in practice as dealing with streams and bytes everywhere is annoying at best however, it gets one thing right: all "identifiers" live in the same, unambiguous namespace.

We're already part of the way there. We have:

Data paths:

	#!/bin/bash

	REPO="$(mktemp -d)"

	IPFS_PATH="$REPO"

	trap "$(printf 'rm -rf "%s"' "$REPO")" INT EXIT

	ipfs init >/dev/null
	ipfs daemon --routing=dhtclient >&2 &

	#!/bin/bash

	REPO="$(mktemp -d)"

	IPFS_PATH="$REPO"

	trap "$(printf 'rm -rf "%s"' "$REPO")" INT EXIT

	ipfs init --profile=randomports >/dev/null
	ipfs daemon --routing=dhtclient >&2 &

	#!/bin/bash

	REPO="$(mktemp -d)"

	IPFS_PATH="$REPO"

	trap "$(printf 'rm -rf "%s"' "$REPO")" INT EXIT

	ipfs init --profile=randomports >/dev/null
	ipfs config Addresses.API "/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/0" # random API port.

	#!/bin/bash

	REPO="$(mktemp -d)"

	IPFS_PATH="$REPO"

	trap "$(printf 'rm -rf "%s"' "$REPO")" INT EXIT

	ipfs init >/dev/null
	ipfs daemon --routing=dhtclient >&2 &
