# DL chan

Downloads all images from a specified 4chan board.

## Instalation

```bash

$ go get github.com/backendtea/dlchan

```

## Usage

```bash

$ dlchan --board=v --out=./output

```

Options:

* `--board` (Required) Specifies the board to be downloaded from

* `--out` (Optional) Output directory where files will go, defaults to `.`

* `--thread` (Optional) Download only a specific thread

This will create a folde named `v` inside the `./output` folder, and save all images in that folder.

Images are named as they are on the website, which means that the unix timestap of when they were posted is the filename

## Why

This was mostly made to get a bit of a grip on Golang, as the following has to be done:

* Check command flags

* Access a JSON API

* Retrieve some values

* Check if files/directories exist

* Download images

* Save those to the filesystem
