A command-line interface client for interacting with the Rusty Key-Value store server.

• CMake (version 3.10 or higher)
• C++ compiler with C++11 support
• Make

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/dtg-lucifer/rusty-kv-cli.git
   cd rusty-kv-cli

2. Create a build directory and navigate to it:

   mkdir build
   cd build

3. Generate the build files with CMake:

   cmake ..

4. Build the project with Make:

   make

5. The executable will be generated in the build directory.

To connect to a server, you can use either individual command line arguments or a connection URL:

./rusty-kv-cli -h <host> -p <port> -U <username> -P <password>

Arguments:

• -h: Server hostname or IP address (default: 127.0.0.1)
• -p: Server port (default: 6379)
• -U: Username for authentication (optional)
• -P: Password for authentication (optional)

./rusty-kv-cli -url kv://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>

Examples:

# Connect to localhost with default port
./rusty-kv-cli -h 127.0.0.1 -p 6379

# Connect with username and password
./rusty-kv-cli -U admin -P secret -h 192.168.1.100 -p 6379

# Using connection URL
./rusty-kv-cli -url kv://admin:[email protected]:6379

Once connected, you can enter commands at the prompt:

192.168.1.100:6379> SET mykey "Hello World"
OK
192.168.1.100:6379> GET mykey
"Hello World"
192.168.1.100:6379> exit

Type exit or quit to disconnect from the server and exit the program.

Here are some common Redis commands you can try:

> SET key value
> GET key
> DEL key
> EXISTS key
> INCR counter
> LPUSH mylist value
> LRANGE mylist 0 -1
> HSET myhash field value
> HGET myhash field
> PING

• This is a simple client and doesn't implement the full RESP (Redis Serialization Protocol)
• Commands are sent as raw strings
• For more advanced features, consider using a full Redis client library
