Sharing¶

There is two type of shared directory :

1. Readonly : The content will only be uploaded.
2. Read and write : New downloaded file goes here.

• Two same directories cannot be shared.
• A shared directory can be a subdirectory of an existing share
• A shared directory can contains an existing share

Starting process¶

The process begin in FileManager::FileManager().

1. Load the cache (proto buff) -> c.
2. Give c to the cache.
3. The cache create shared directories (SharedDirectory) -> S, sub directories (Directory) and files (File) according c.
4. For each s in S :
   • fileUpdater->addRoot(s) (via signals).
5. fileUpdater->start() // Start the file updater daemon (thread).
   • For each s in S :
     • scan(s) // Read all directories and files from the file system.
     • restoreFromFile(s) // Give the known hashes from c to the corresponding files.
