Project Overview

This code is a Rust program that acts as a client for a desktop file server running on Linux. It connects to the Linux server and sends application information to create desktop files. Desktop files are used in Linux environments to launch applications with graphical user interfaces.

Features

The client code connects to the Linux server and sends application information to create desktop files. The important functions in the code are:

• main: Establishes a connection to the Linux server and sends application information.
• get_runnable_programs: Retrieves a list of runnable programs on macOS or a demo app for testing on Mac.
• is_executable: Checks if a file is executable based on its permissions.
• send_runnable_programs: Sends the runnable programs to the Linux server.

Installation

To install and use this client code, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Releases page of the repository.

2. Locate the latest release and download the binary file for your macOS system. The binary file will be named something like client_binary.

3. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where the binary file is located.

4. Make the binary file executable by running the following command:

   chmod +x client_binary

   Replace client_binary with the actual name of the downloaded binary file.

5. Run the client program by executing the binary file:

   ./client_binary

   Replace client_binary with the actual name of the binary file.

6. The client program will connect to the Linux server running on the specified address (e.g., 127.0.0.1:1234).

7. The client will retrieve a list of runnable programs on macOS or a demo app for testing on Mac.

8. The client will send the application information to the Linux server.

9. The Linux server will receive the information and create desktop files based on that data.
