BeautifulStack/inventory_warehouse

C · updated Jun 2021

A small C client built with CMake, split into a libinv-d library and a main.c driver. The library handles HTTP requests, file uploads, and writing files, which suggests it sends inventory data to a server from a device or workstation. The name points to warehouse inventory, but no README or source was available to confirm the endpoints or the intended deployment.

- HTTP request code (http_request.c/.h) is separated from upload_file and write_file, so the transport layer can change without touching the file handling.

- Uses CMake rather than a hand-written Makefile, so it should build with the standard toolchain on most platforms.

- The whole project is a handful of files, small enough to read end to end before adopting it.

- No README in the tree, so nothing says what the server API looks like, what the client expects, or how to build and run it.

- Last push was June 2021 and it has no stars or forks, so there is no sign of maintenance, and any libcurl or server API it depends on has likely moved on since.

- The tree shows no tests, no CI config, and no examples. Buffer handling and error paths in the upload code are unverified, and the tree was truncated, so there may be more I did not see.
