Documentation for different parts

[parunach]

I see that the simple writeup is only for connecting to daemon and adding a file.

Please add for
-How to list all the files added with different methods
-How to get a specific file with multiple ways
-Explain the different parts of the id() result

Without this, the usability is insufficient.

Yes, someone needs to write more documentation: Particularly a tutorial, which is basically what you are implying, would be a very nice addition to our current documentation indeed!

A short description of the .id() output may be found here, but it's not very complete either:
https://ipfs.io/docs/commands/#ipfs-id

Yes, it will be great if someone does this. I see no books on ipfs, makes it hard to understand the details. All references are to ipfs website, GitHub and some articles.

Would this documentation be about IPFS, or just the use of this python API?
