filegen-client

A utility to test and benchmark a filegen-server.

The filegen-client utility may be used to send queries to a running filegen-server in order to debug or benchmark the server.

Usage

Filegen-client will get per-machine file data for a specified pathname from the specified filegen-server. The data for each machine are written to stdout. The basic usage pattern is:

filegen-client [flags...] pathname source

Built-in help is available with the command:

filegen-client -h

The -mdbFile option specifies the file to read MDB data from. If this file changes then it is re-read and if the MDB data for any machine changes, new file contents will be generated and displayed.

Security

Filegen-server restricts RPC access using TLS client authentication. Filegen-client will load certificate and key files from the ~/.ssl directory. Filegen-client will present these certificates to filegen-server. If one of the certificates is signed by a certificate authority that filegen-server trusts, filegen-server will grant access.
