This sample plugin illustrates how to use the "OrthancPluginAdoptDicomInstance()" primitive in the Orthanc SDK. The plugin replaces the built-in storage area of Orthanc, by a flat directory "./OrthancStorage" containing the attachments. DICOM instances can then be adopted by typing: $ curl http://localhost:8042/adopt -d /tmp/sample.dcm An adopted DICOM instance is not copied inside the "OrthancStorage" folder, but is read from its original location (in the example above, from "/tmp/sample.dcm").
