# ca-store
|
|
|
|
**ca-store** is a content-addressable store for your files, be they documents,
|
|
pictures, videos, or whatever.
|
|
|
|
Usually when we store files we give them a filename, so that we can refer to
|
|
its contents. If you are a developer you will probably get a file handle, or
|
|
if you are working at a really low level you will probably get an inode number.
|
|
Regardless of what you get, you can use it to access your files later.
|
|
|
|
A content-addressable store will instead give you an id that depends on the
|
|
contents of the file itself. This makes it useful for storing large amounts of
|
|
read only data.
