0xrpj/Inventory-Management-System-in-C

★ 11 · C · updated Aug 2021

Inventory Management System for a small vegetable shop coded in C programming language.

A single-file C program for managing inventory at a small vegetable shop — flat-file storage, basic CRUD, profit/loss calculation. This is a student project, not a production tool. It exists to demonstrate C file I/O and control flow, not to actually run a shop.

The scope is honest and contained — it doesn't pretend to be more than it is. File-based persistence (flat .txt files) means zero dependencies and runs anywhere a C compiler exists. The profit/loss calculation against buy/sell records is a sensible domain model for the stated use case. Good for a beginner looking at a complete, working C project end-to-end.

The password 'gaida' is hardcoded in the README and presumably in the source — this is not security, it's theater. Flat-file storage with no locking means concurrent access will corrupt data. No input validation in C flat-file programs is a classic buffer overflow waiting to happen. Last touched 2021, 11 stars, no tests — this is a homework submission that got pushed to GitHub, not a reference implementation of anything.
