Identic was a homework assignment for the CMPE230 Systems Programming course at the Bogazici University. The assignment was to create a command line tool that could be used to find replicas of a file in specified directories. The tool was implemented in python and was tested on a Linux system. I decided to create a rust version of the tool as well. My main objective of this project is to learn rust and how to use it in a real world application.
It includes following features of rust:
- Creating a macro
- Creating a struct
- Implementing a constructor for the struct
- Using the
Optiontype - Using the
Resulttype - Structuring the code using modules
- Walkdir library
- Hashmap library
- Creating sha256 hashes of file contents and names
- Iterating through a vector, filtering and mapping values
- Moving, ownership and borrowing
- Cargo.toml : TOML file for the project
- src/ : Source folder
- main.rs : Main file for the project
- lib.rs : Library file for the project
- file.rs : file module that contains a struct and some helper functions for files
- helpers/ : helpers module that contains 2 helper modules
- mod.rs : helper module
- config.rs : config module that contains a struct for configuring the project
- output.rs : output module that contains functions for outputting information to the user
- test_cases/ : Test cases folder
- file: "g"
- folder/
- file_in_folder: "g"
- folder_in_folder/
- file_in_folder: "g"
- folder/
