Essential Operations

Getting Started

# Initialize rust
rust init

# Basic usage
rust run

# With verbose output
rust --verbose run

# With configuration file
rust --config config.yaml run

Configuration

# View configuration
rust config show

# Set configuration option
rust config set key value

# Get configuration value
rust config get key

# Reset configuration
rust config reset

Advanced Operations

# Debug mode
rust --debug run

# Dry run (preview changes)
rust --dry-run run

# Force operation
rust --force run

# Parallel execution
rust --parallel run

File Operations

Command	Description
rust create <file>	Create new file
rust read <file>	Read file contents

# Listen on port
rust listen --port 8080

# Send data
rust send --data "message" --target host

# Receive data
rust receive --port 8080

Security Features

Authentication

# Login with credentials
rust login --user username

# Logout
rust logout

# Change password
rust passwd

# Generate API key
rust generate-key

Encryption

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Issue: Command not found

# Check if installed
which rust

# Reinstall if necessary
sudo apt reinstall rust

Issue: Permission denied

# Run with sudo
sudo rust command

# Fix permissions
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/rust

Issue: Configuration errors

# Reset configuration
rust config reset

# Validate configuration
rust config validate

Debug Commands

Command	Description
rust --debug	Enable debug output
rust --verbose	Verbose logging
rust test	Run self-tests
rust doctor	Check system health

Best Practices

Security

• Always verify checksums when downloading
• Use strong authentication methods
• Regularly update to latest version
• Follow principle of least privilege

Performance

• Use appropriate buffer sizes
• Monitor resource usage
• Optimize configuration for your use case
• Regular maintenance and cleanup

Maintenance

# Update rust
rust update

# Clean temporary files
rust clean

# Backup configuration
rust backup --config

# Restore from backup
rust restore --config backup.yaml

Integration

Scripting

#!/bin/bash
# Example script using rust

if ! command -v rust &> /dev/null; then
    echo "rust is not installed"
    exit 1
fi

if rust run; then
    echo "Success"
else
    echo "Failed"
    exit 1
fi

API Integration

import subprocess
import json

def run_rust(command):
    try:
        result = subprocess.run(['rust'] + command.split(),
                              capture_output=True, text=True)
        return result.stdout
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error: \\\\{e\\\\}")
        return None

Environment Variables

Variable	Description	Default
RUST_CONFIG	Configuration file path	~/.rust/config
RUST_HOME	Home directory	~/.rust
RUST_LOG_LEVEL	Logging level	INFO
RUST_TIMEOUT	Operation timeout	30s

Configuration File

# ~/.rust/config.yaml
version: "1.0"
settings:
  debug: false
  timeout: 30
  log_level: "INFO"

network:
  host: "localhost"
  port: 8080
  ssl: true

security:
  auth_required: true
  encryption: "AES256"

Examples

Basic Workflow

# 1. Initialize
rust init

# 2. Configure
rust config set host example.com

# 3. Run operation
rust run

# 4. Check results
rust status

# 5. Cleanup
rust clean

Advanced Workflow

# Comprehensive operation
rust run \
  --config production.yaml \
  --parallel \
  --verbose \
  --timeout 300

# Monitoring
rust monitor \
  --interval 60 \
  --alert-threshold 80
