+The chunker option, '-s', defines the chunking strategy for how 
+ipfs puts larger files into blocks. Blocks with same content can
+be deduplicated. The default is a fixed block size of
+256 * 1024 bytes, 'size-262144'. A variable block size can be
+specified by using the rabin chunker, rabin-[min]-[avg]-[max].
+Using different chunking strategies will produce different hashes 
+for the same file.
