Usage

This module provides a class named BodyTrackDatastore. Create a new instance like this:

var BodyTrackDatastore = require('bodytrack-datastore');
var datastore = new BodyTrackDatastore({
                                       binDir: "/PATH/TO/DATASTORE/BIN/DIRECTORY", 
                                       dataDir: "/PATH/TO/DATASTORE/DATA/DIRECTORY"
                                       });

The value for binDir should be the path to the directory containing the BodyTrack Datastore's binary executables (export, gettile, import, and info). The value for dataDir should be the path to the BodyTrack Datastore's data directory (typically named dev.kvs).
