irtt-client exposes a synchronous wait for managed target-set updates and keeps its packaged test dependency resolvable from crates.io. irtt-rs adds stdin-managed desired target sets and per-target HMAC configuration.
irtt-server's hex-pattern chunking moves to the stable as_chunks API
with no behavior change. irtt-rs picks up IRTT_SERVER_* environment
variable configuration, SIGTERM handling via ctrlc's termination
feature, and the Dockerfile/Gitea Actions pipeline that publishes its
server image to Gitea and GHCR.
Enable configuration via IRTT_SERVER_* environment variables to simplify deployments in containerized or orchestrated environments. This adds the clap "env" feature and includes thread-safe tests to verify variable precedence.
irtt-server gains address_family_available() as a public helper, and
irtt-rs picks up the server zero-argument defaults and single-family
fallback that depend on it.
Each published crate (irtt-rs, irtt-client, irtt-server, irtt-stats,
irtt-proto) now points crates.io at its own README instead of
inheriting the root project README via the workspace-wide readme
default, which is removed. Each crate README is a short landing page:
what the crate is, who should use it, which sibling crate to use
instead if this isn't the right abstraction level, and links to
docs.rs and the main repository.
Add real Cargo example targets teaching irtt-client's blocking/Tokio/
managed API tiers, a basic and a multi-listener irtt-server example,
and an irtt-stats example contrasting finite vs continuous retention.
irtt-proto intentionally has none. Update each crate's top-level
rustdoc to explain its API-tier choices and point at the examples, and
enable docs.rs rustdoc example scraping for irtt-client and
irtt-server (via doc-scrape-examples on each example target, needed
because the crate has dev-dependencies).
The client examples are caller-paced against next_send_deadline()
rather than sending on every loop iteration, bound their receive wait
by the next send/timeout deadline instead of awaiting indefinitely,
poll timeouts on a short fixed cadence, and surface send/receive/close
errors instead of discarding them via unwrap_or_default()/if-let-Ok --
so they demonstrate correct pacing and terminate/report cleanly rather
than racing the server, hanging on a lost reply, or silently dropping a
failed final close.
Reduce the root README to project discovery and navigation: what
irtt-rs is, its relationship to upstream IRTT (including a factual
capability comparison checked against upstream v0.9.2), installation,
a short quick start, and links out to detailed documentation. Detailed
CLI behavior, output/measurement semantics, continuous-mode memory
guidance, and server bind/session/negotiation semantics move into new
manpage-shaped docs under docs/ (irtt-rs, irtt-client, irtt-tui,
irtt-server), rewritten as operational guidance rather than copied
verbatim from the old README sections they replace.
With no --bind, the server now binds the wildcard IRTT port on both
address families ([::]:2112 then 0.0.0.0:2112) instead of requiring an
explicit address, on platforms where wildcard reply-source selection
is already supported. Any explicit --bind fully replaces the default
pair rather than adding to it; repeated explicit binds are unaffected.
If one of the two default listeners fails because its address family
has no local support on this host at all (IPv6 disabled on an
otherwise IPv4-capable host, for example), the server falls back to
serving just the surviving family instead of failing outright. Any
other failure reason -- the port already in use, permission denied, no
safe wildcard reply-source path -- is not a family-support problem and
is not silently worked around; startup fails as it would for an
explicit --bind. This distinction is made with the new
irtt_server::address_family_available, which actually binds the
wildcard address of the failed listener's family on an ephemeral port:
a bare socket can construct successfully even when every bind for that
family fails (Linux administratively disabling IPv6 per-interface
leaves AF_INET6 sockets constructible but every bind EADDRNOTAVAIL), so
only a real bind attempt is a reliable signal.
irtt_server::ServerCore::handle_datagram is a public API that
always passes kernel_rx_timestamp = None; only the crate-private
entry point the Tokio runtime (the irtt-server applet) uses
supplies one. Say so explicitly instead of implying every use of
this crate's server gets the preference.
irtt-client can talk to any IRTT-compatible peer, not only this
repo's own irtt-server, and has no way to know what clock source
produced a peer-reported wall-clock endpoint. Restrict the
kernel-receive-timestamp-preference claim to when the peer is
this crate's own Linux irtt-server; state plainly that another
peer's reported value is used as-is otherwise.
adjusted_rtt_us/effective_rtt_us are derived in part from
server-reported processing time, which is computed from the same
server receive endpoint the client_to_server one-way-delay field
documents as kernel-preferred. Only raw RTT is guaranteed to stay
on userspace monotonic timing; say so precisely instead of
claiming RTT in general is unaffected.
RUSTFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo check -p irtt-rs --no-default-features
--features client (or --features tui) warned on dead code: some
format.rs helpers are only called from the client applet, others
only from the TUI. Narrowly #[cfg(feature = "...")]-gate each to
the applet that actually uses it instead of allowing the warning
or introducing a new feature, and split the tests that exercised
both groups to match.
ManagedClientHandle::update_targets() had a one-line rustdoc that
didn't say targets is a full desired-set replacement, that an
unchanged live target continues undisturbed, or that a changed
config or a terminal-generation resubmission starts a fresh
generation even for byte-identical config.
On Linux, one-way delay measurement best-effort prefers kernel
send/receive timestamps over userspace timing, falling back
whenever a kernel reading is unavailable or implausible. RTT is
unaffected and remains userspace-timed.
Add a user-facing README note near the measurement/output
explanation, and bring OneWayDelaySample::client_to_server's
rustdoc in line with the send-endpoint behavior, matching the
style already used for server_to_client. Also fix a stale
socket_io module doc that still claimed the captured kernel
receive timestamp went unconsumed; ServerCore has used it via
preferred_receive_wall_ns since d3f93a9.
Final per-target summaries print in the order targets were
supplied on the command line, not finish order or alphabetical
label order. This only concerns the end-of-run summary printout;
it says nothing about ordering of live/interleaved per-event
output.
The README led application users through cloning the repo and
building with cargo install --path, and led library consumers
through a local path dependency, even though irtt-rs and
irtt-client are now published. Make the registry the default
path for both and keep the local-checkout/path forms documented
as the alternative for development.
Remove the panic abort override and synchronize LTO settings across release and distribution profiles to ensure consistent binary optimization and debugging behavior.
The shared with_shutdown_flag helper, and the AtomicBool/Arc/
install_signal_handler imports it uses, only exist when at least one
applet feature (client, server, tui) is enabled. Gate them accordingly
instead of leaving them unconditionally compiled, which broke
`--no-default-features` workspace CI under -D warnings (unused
function/dead-code).
Also correct the README installation section: tui is already part of
the default feature set, so an ordinary `cargo install` already
produces irtt-tui alongside the other three binaries. Document a
lightweight `--no-default-features --features client` install instead
of the previous (incorrect) framing of tui as an opt-in extra, and fix
the same gap in the binaries/features table.
