SYNOPSIS                          (./ark)
    ark - admin tool for basic ARK operations

USAGE
    ark mkminter [ NAAN [ Shoulder ] ]
    ark mint [ Count [ FQShoulder ] ]
    ark lsminter [ FQShoulder ... ]
    ark rmminter [ FQShoulder ... ]

DESCRIPTION
    This script automates common ARK tasks. The ARK namespace is divided into
    NAANs (Name Assigning Authority Numbers), which are further (sub)divided
    into Shoulders. Shoulders are useful for delegating responsibility within
    NAAN namespaces.

    The "mkminter" command creates a minter of opaque strings consisting of
    digits, letters (betanumerics actually) and a final check character.
    It takes a 5-digit NAAN (default "99999") and a Shoulder (default
    "fk2") string. A Shoulder string must start with one or more betanumeric
    letters (bcdfghjkmnpqrstvwxz) and end in a digit. The NAAN should be one
    that you have been assigned (eg, 12345) via the global ARK NAAN registry.

    The "mint" command generates Count (default 1) strings suitable for ARK
    assignments from the "fully qualified" minter name, FQShoulder, which
    consists of the NAAN, a '/', and the Shoulder string. The default minter,
    99999/fk2, generates test ARKs (non-persistent) of the form
    ark:99999/fk2....

    Use the "lsminter" command either to list all minters or to check for
    the existence of one or more minters named via FQShoulder.
