Quic

A simple command line tool that can copy and synchronize files and directories.

Description

Quic is a command-line utility program that can be used to copy and synchronize files and directories. It can copy new or modified files from a source directory to a destination directory, and can also remove files from the destination directory that have been deleted from the source directory.

Getting Started

Dependencies

• Linux or macOS
• GCC compiler

Installing

• Download the source code for Quic from this repository
• Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you downloaded the source code
• Run the command "make" to build the executable

Executing program

• Run the command ./quic <source_path> <destination_path> [flags]
• source_path is the path to the directory you want to synchronize from
• destination_path is the path to the directory you want to synchronize to
• Available flags:
  • -v : verbose mode, prints statistics about the synchronization process
  • -l: copy symbolic links instead of copying the files they link to.
  • -d : delete mode, removes files and directories from the destination that don't exist in the source

  ⚠️ Before use -d be sure that you don't have files that you need in the destination folder.

Example:

./quic /home/user/src /home/user/dest -v -d

This command synchronizes the contents of the directory /home/user/src to the directory /home/user/dest, and also prints statistics about the synchronization process and deletes files and directories from the destination that don't exist in the source.
