mldht v0.0.2 MlDHT

MlDHT is an Elixir package that provides a Kademlia Distributed Hash Table (DHT) implementation according to BitTorrent Enhancement Proposals (BEP) 05. This specific implementation is called "mainline" variant.

Link to this section Summary

Types

A binary which contains the infohash of a torrent. An infohash is a SHA1 encoded hex sum which identifies a torrent.

A non negative integer (0--65565) which represents a TCP port number.

Functions

This function needs an infohash as binary and a callback function as parameter. This function uses its own routing table as a starting point to start a get_peers search for the given infohash.

This function needs an infohash as binary and callback function as parameter. This function does the same thing as the search/2 function, except it sends an announce message to the found peers. This function does not need a TCP port which means the announce message sets :implied_port to true.

search_announce(infohash, callback, port)
search_announce(infohash(), (... -> any()), tcp_port()) :: atom()

This function needs an infohash as binary, a callback function as parameter, and a TCP port as integer. This function does the same thing as the search/2 function, except it sends an announce message to the found peers.
