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.
