Installation

Binary Usage

Server

You can view the helptext for the server cli using the command cargo run --bin server -- -h.

Example

The command cargo run --bin server -- -a 10.0.18.135 -p 5050 -d ./db tcp will create/open a database at /db and listen for RPC requests on 10.0.18.135:5050

Client

The client helptext can similarly be viewed with cargo run --bin client -- -h.

Helptext for a specific subcommand can be viewed using cargo run --bin client -- <subcommand> -h

Example

To insert the value "Thor M." into the "my_name" key of the "names" tree of the server above, use the following command: cargo run --bin client -- -a 10.0.18.135 -p 5050 insert -k my_name "Thor M." -t names
