ipfs-cid - 0.0~git20200813.59cf068-2+b5 main

The intent of the tools is to be for CID generation/verification only. It is
not in any way an IPFS client.
.
The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a protocol and peer-to-peer network
for storing and sharing data in a distributed file system. IPFS uses
content-addressing to uniquely identify each file in a global namespace
connecting all computing devices.[
.
A content identifier, or CID, is a label used to point to material in IPFS. It
doesn't indicate where the content is stored, but it forms a kind of address
based on the content itself. CIDs are short, regardless of the size of their
underlying content.
