i0 (i0-cli)

generates a new i0

installation

cargo install i0-cli

usage

to generate a new i0-dentifier, just run i0:

% i0
# i0 -v 3 -d '' -t '213f1cb' -s 'KNNL3-mg3GEOv_-UQ9ycV1JsBNbOV6dG3mNCXZiFYQ4' 
long: i0:3/13ts6bo1yiqcfnys
short: 96636f0

usually, you'd want to provide a designation and a timestamp (if the timestamp is now, it can be omitted):

% i0 -d mint -t '213f1cb'
# i0 -v 3 -d 'mint' -t '213f1cb' -s 'qy7NOjgnQKLMcY4TLUbK_7CNUHqNU9UZO4hJBqLhl-A' 
long: i0:3/wzehtjucjbm4qcrt
short: a5d1c8a

each output contains the arguments (including the random seed) to generate the exact same i0-dentifier again:

% i0 -v 3 -d 'mint' -t '213f1cb' -s 'qy7NOjgnQKLMcY4TLUbK_7CNUHqNU9UZO4hJBqLhl-A'
# i0 -v 3 -d 'mint' -t '213f1cb' -s 'qy7NOjgnQKLMcY4TLUbK_7CNUHqNU9UZO4hJBqLhl-A' 
long: i0:3/wzehtjucjbm4qcrt
short: a5d1c8a
