# generateToDisk

`fun generateToDisk(dirs: List<Path>, serviceId: String, serviceName: String, threshold: Int = 1): Unit`

### Parameters

`dirs` - List of node directories to place the generated identity and key pairs in.
`serviceId` - The service id of the distributed service.
`serviceName` - The legal name of the distributed service.
`threshold` - The threshold for the generated group CompositeKey.Node.
