  Attachi - A helper tool that prepares attachments for openBIS registration

Options:
  -t, --atype TYPE   Type of attachment: Information or Results (default)
  -u, --user ID      Username shown in openbis as uploader
  -o, --outdir PATH  Output folder path
  --version          Show the version and exit.
  --help             Show this message and exit.

While carriage return and new line symbols in the provided COMMENT are automatically replaced, it is good practice not to use them in the first place.

# Example

Creating the folder structure for an upload:

```python

attachi -u myusername QABCD README.md "this is a test for uploading the readme file"

#--> folder QABCD000AQ_20180627102707758164 is created

Use tar and dync to upload the file to openBIS:

tar -c QABCD000AQ_20180627102707758164 | dync -n QABCD000AQ_20180627102707758164.tar -k untar:True data.qbic.uni-tuebingen.de
