gollark: Unfortunately, recv.lua cannot actually be a one-liner.
gollark: ```lua-- send.lua - dumps FS over channel supplied via command line argumentsskynet.send(..., fs.dump())```and```lua-- recv.lua - receives and loads FS dump over command-line-argumenty-supplied channellocal _, d = skynet.receive(...)fs.load(d)```
gollark: I mean, if you want, you could.
gollark: No. What would that *do*?
