    ipfs: MaybeOwned,
    starting_point: impl Into<StartingPoint>,
    range: Option<Range<u64>>

IPFS cat operation, producing a stream of file bytes. This is generic over the different kinds of ways to own an Ipfs value in order to support both operating with borrowed Ipfs value and an owned value. Passing an owned value allows the return value to be 'static, which can be helpful in some contexts, like the http.

Returns a stream of bytes on the file pointed with the Cid.
