This document explains the design, architecture and advanced use cases of the MinIO distributed server.

## Command-line

```
NAME:
  minio server - start object storage server

USAGE:
  minio server [FLAGS] DIR1 [DIR2..]
  minio server [FLAGS] DIR{1...64}
  minio server [FLAGS] DIR{1...64} DIR{65...128}

DIR:
  DIR points to a directory on a filesystem. When you want to combine

      filesystem.createDirectories(it)
    }
    filesystem.write(file) {
      writeUtf8(content)
    }
  }

  private fun generateSomeGarbageFiles() {
    val dir1 = cacheDir / "dir1"
    val dir2 = dir1 / "dir2"
    writeFile(getCleanFile("g1", 0), "A")
    writeFile(getCleanFile("g1", 1), "B")
    writeFile(getCleanFile("g2", 0), "C")
    writeFile(getCleanFile("g2", 1), "D")
