# wormhole-william

wormhole-william is a Go (golang) implementation of [magic wormhole](https://magic-wormhole.readthedocs.io/en/latest/). It provides secure end-to-end encrypted file transfers between computers. The endpoints are connected using the same "wormhole code".

wormhole-william is compatible with the official [python magic wormhole cli tool](https://github.com/warner/magic-wormhole).

Currently, wormhole-william supports:
- sending and receiving text over the wormhole protocol
- sending and receiving files over the transit protocol
- sending and receiving directories over the transit protocol

## CLI Usage

```
$ wormhole-william send --help

wormhole-william send [WHAT] [flags]

Flags:
--code string human-generated code phrase
-c, --code-length int length of code (in bytes/words)
-h, --help help for send
--hide-progress suppress progress-bar display
-v, --verify display verification string (and wait for approval)

Global Flags:
--relay-url string rendezvous relay to use

$ wormhole-william receive --help
Receive a text message, file, or directory...

Usage:
wormhole-william receive [code] [flags]

Aliases:

Flags:
-h, --help help for receive
--hide-progress suppress progress-bar display
-v, --verify display verification string (and wait for approval)

### CLI tab completion

The wormhole-william CLI supports shell completion, including completing the receive code.
To enable shell completion follow the instructions from `wormhole-william shell-completion -h`.

## Building the CLI tool

wormhole-william uses go modules so it requires a version of the go tool chain >= 1.11. If you are using a version of go that supports modules you can clone the repo outside of your GOPATH and do a `go build` in the top level directory.

To just install via the go tool run:

```
go install github.com/psanford/wormhole-william@latest
```

## API Usage

Sending text:

```go
package main

import (
"context"
"fmt"
"io/ioutil"
"log"

"github.com/psanford/wormhole-william/wormhole"
)

func sendText() {
var c wormhole.Client

msg := "Dillinger-entertainer"

ctx := context.Background()

code, status, err := c.SendText(ctx, msg)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Println("On the other computer, please run: wormhole receive")
fmt.Printf("Wormhole code is: %s\n", code)

s := <-status

if s.OK {
fmt.Println("OK!")
} else {
log.Fatalf("Send error: %s", s.Error)
}
}

func recvText(code string) {
var c wormhole.Client

ctx := context.Background()
msg, err := c.Receive(ctx, code)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}

if msg.Type != wormhole.TransferText {
log.Fatalf("Expected a text message but got type %s", msg.Type)
}

msgBody, err := ioutil.ReadAll(msg)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}

fmt.Println("got message:")
fmt.Println(msgBody)
}
```

See the [cli tool](https://github.com/psanford/wormhole-william/tree/master/cmd) and [examples](https://github.com/psanford/wormhole-william/tree/master/examples) directory for working examples of how to use the API to send and receive text, files and directories.
