- New STATUS_CHECK protocol status (value 6)
- Client sends path + size + mtime; server replies OK (skip) or NEXT (send)
- config.h/c: use_incremental field sent/received over wire
- file.c/h: file_send_single_calls_no_path helper for incremental path
- client_cli.c: --incremental flag
- client_send.c: per-file check before send in both single and chunk paths
- server.c: STATUS_CHECK handling in receive_files()
- multiprocessing.c: STATUS_CHECK handling in receive_thread()
- test.py: incremental sync test case
Feature changes across 15 files:
- -a/--archive: enables -c -m -M (no -s, which slows transfers)
- -n/--dry-run: scan + print without connecting or transferring
- -p <port>: custom SSH port (passed as -p to ssh via execvp)
- --exclude <pattern>: glob-based filename filtering in scanner
- --delete: sender collects file manifest; receiver deletes unlisted files
Protocol: added STATUS_MANIFEST, use_delete field in Config wire format.
New utilities: glob_match(), delete_extras() with recursive directory walk.
Scanner: accepts exclude patterns; skips matching entries.
SSH transport: switched from execlp to execvp for dynamic port arg.
Server + multiprocessing: handle STATUS_MANIFEST in both single and
multithreaded receive paths.
Builds clean, all 7 tests pass.
- Merge io.h/c back into protocol.h/c
- Change send_data to take Data* argument
- Remove redundant file_load_data from send_chunk
- Move compression into file_send_single_calls
- Move file_receive from multiprocessing.c to file.c
- Replace send()/recv() with read()/write() + io_set_fds() for fd abstraction
- Add client_connect_ssh() via socketpair + fork/exec; reap child in client_disconnect()
- Add server --stdio flag for SSH invocation
- Replace handle_arg() with rsync-style positional args (fastsync <src> <dest>)
- Add SSH vs TCP auto-detection via is_remote_dest()
- Add TransportType and ssh_destination to Config, fix uninitialized fields in
config_receive() (pre-existing multithreaded crash)
- Sender threads now wait for server STATUS_OK before disconnecting
- Add --help, error handling for sendfile+SSH combos
- Add pre-flight checks and Posix Args test case to test.py
- Add test_config_ssh_dest() unit test
- Remove FileReceive struct; use File everywhere with nullable FileMetadata*
- Remove struct stat from File; file size lives in Data->size (data_create_reserve)
- Add FileMetadata struct (mode, uid, gid, mtime) sent conditionally over wire
- Add -M / --preserve flag to client
- Restore permissions, ownership, timestamps on disk write
- Wire format uses per-file present flag for metadata (zero overhead when off)
