Basic key-value store

This is a basic key-value store written in Rust that utilises the file system to persist data.

Usage

The data store supports insert, select, list, delete and flush operations.

To use the program, simply run the following command with the key-value pair you wish to store:

$ cargo run -- insert key 'this is an example value'

Run the following command with the list operation to view all the persisted entries -

$ cargo run -- list

The select, delete and flush operations can be used as follows -

$ cargo run -- select key
$ cargo run -- delete key
$ cargo run -- flush

Alternatively, you can build and run the binary as follows -

$ cargo build --release 
$ cd target/release/
$ ./simple_storage insert key 'this is an example value'
$ ./simple_storage list
$ ./simple_storage select key
$ ./simple_storage delete key
$ ./simple_storage flush
