POSIX compliant file indexer

C application

The aim of the project was to create a program that traverses all files in a given directory and its subdirectories, creates a data structure containing the requested information about the files and then waits for user input. User inputs commands that query data gathered in the data structure. To avoid repetitive scanning of the directory, the data structure is written to a file and read when the program is run again.

Apart from being a computer science student, I am a big fan of healthy lifestyle, whenever I have some free time I try to exercise, during winter at the gym, or when it's warmer I mostly outdoor activites like biking, hiking or running.

After doing my daily dose of studying, programming and exercises I like to watch a good sci-fi movie or show, Star Trek for example. As any usual geek I also like to play video games, #teamplaystation. My all time favorites are Final Fantasy VII, Heroes 3 and Diablo 2.
