Instalation

Requirements

• Python 3
• *NIX-ish OS ?

Installing

Just drop it into your path, and have a directory $HOME/usr/var/sada , the script will make folders and files inside that path on its own.

Usage

All modes of operation are selected by how many arguments you provide the script

• No arguments - List buckets

  • Example: sada
  • This lists the buckets available
  • In this version, it ammounts to a ls in $HOME/usr/var/sada

• One argument - List keys

  • Example: sada phone_numbers
  • This will be matched to a bucket and list all the keys in that bucket
  • Would be similar to ls $HOME/usr/var/sada/phone_numbers/

• Two arguments - Read key

  • Example: sada phone_numbers bob
  • This will read the current value for that key
  • If the key is non-existant, it will give you a blank value
  • Output format is similar to input format (<bucket> <key> <value>)

• Three arguments - Write key

  • Example: sada phone_numbers bob 1-900-876-5309
  • This will set the key bob to 1-900-876-5309
  • Any existing value will be appended to an array in the file named history, that you can look at manually.
