This is my first project in rust, called: since. A small tool to filter logfiles or any other files with a timestamp in it, by a given timestamp.
For example:
since 1h /var/log/messages prints all lines from the last hour.
since 00:00 /var/log/messages prints all lines since 00:00.
It would be nice if you could take a look at the code. What would you change, what should I change?
I’m not a professional programmer, this is just a hobby, but I want to learn as much as possible.
Thank you very much. I’ll change it. I did run cargo clippy, but it didn’t complained anything anymore before I published the code. 🙂
One question to return value
Option<&String>:is it better to change to
Option<&str>or&Option<String>if the value in the struct is aOption<String>? The latter sounds more logical to me.Hmm, not quite sure why Clippy didn’t say anything then. I think, it was a
Option<&String>which I had seen as a parameter type. Maybe it doesn’t complain when it’s wrapped in an Option…
