convert into cli

[gaurav-gogia]

Each folder has its own main package file. I was wondering if a simple CLI added for each so that they could be run more easily. More details can be discussed in this thread.

I get that my above description is a bit vague but its just that I couldn't find better words. I'll try my best to answer your queries though

Do you prefer (1) one binary per folder or (2) a single cli that allows access to all tools?

Personally, I think a single cli with all commands works best, we can have something like:

$ dfis hash myfile.txt
MD5: ACBD18DB4CC2F85CEDEF654FCCC4A4D8 # same as crypto-utils/hash-big.go

$ dfis hash --all myfile.txt # same as crypto-utils/hash-small.go
MD5: ACBD18DB4CC2F85CEDEF654FCCC4A4D8
SHA1: ...
SHA256: ...
SHA512: ...

$ dfis info myfile.txt # same as file-utils/file-info.go
.... you get the idea ...

If this is what you want, I can work on it using a library that I recently wrote just for this kind of scenario.

Also, as an unrelated note, I can convert this project to go modules if you want.

Hey!

Yea, second option sounds better. I didn't want to go for it because it felt a bit too complex but if we can make it happen then that would be awesome.

Also, yes go modules will be cool too. I don't know why but I keep running into weird errors like "this file is not a part of X package" while it actually is when I try using go modules.

Done, take a look at PR #10 and see if it is good enough. If/when it is approved, I will start the main cli application.

Also, I added Issue #11.

That was fast! Alright, will look into it and update you :)

@gaurav-gogia , check PR #15 to see if it is acceptable or if you have any other suggestions.

[gaurav-gogia]

Sure, will look into it now :)
