type Environment

type Environment struct {

	Repo string

	// The plugin's config, if specified in the
	// Plugins.Plugins["plugin-name"].Config field of the user's go-ipfs
	// config. See docs/plugins.md for details.
	//

type PluginDaemonInternal interface {
	Plugin

	Start(*core.IpfsNode) error
}

PluginDaemonInternal is an interface for daemon plugins. These plugins will be run on the daemon and will be given a direct access to the IpfsNode.
