How to Run?

Install requirements mentioned in the requirements.txt file. (Better to run in a virtual environment)

Now go to the build directory.

If not build already, run 'make build' first.

Run " python3 server.py ip_add port_no " in the server machine.

(Use your server ip and port no., If not provided default ip and port will be used. Default ip: 127.0.0.1, Default port: 12345)

Run " python3 client.py ip_add port_no " in the client machine to connect to the server.

(Default ip: 127.0.0.1, Default port: 12345) (Clients only need the client.py file in their machines.)

After Connection, Clients can execute the commands from their machine.

(First Command) Do the setup:

./setup <your_password> <logfilename>

(Logfile file names such as dot dot dot (...) or slash slash slash (///) without any other alphanumeric characters are not allowed.)

Now you can read and write entries in the logfile using your password.

Possible Commands:

./logappend -T <timestamp> -K <password> -A/-L -E <employee_name> logfile_name
./logappend -B batchfile_name
./logread -K <password> -S logfile_name
./logread -K <password> -T (-E <name> | -G <name>) logfile_name
./logread -K <password> -R (-E <name> | -G <name>) logfile_name
./logread -K <token> -I (-E <name> | -G <name>) [(-E <name> | -G <name>) ...] logfile_name

Some Examples:

./logappend -T 1 -K secret -A -E Alice log1
./logread -K secret -S log1
./logread -K secret -T -E John log1
