vecs-cli

vecs-cli is a lightweight, synchronous Command Line Interface (CLI) client written in C for the VECS (Vector Semantic Cache) server.

It acts as a REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) tool, allowing developers to interact with the VECS server using human-readable commands, handling the binary RESP (Redis Serialization Protocol) encoding and decoding transparently.

🚀 Features

• REPL Interface: Interactive shell to send commands to the server.
• Smart Parsing: Handles quoted strings automatically (e.g., "Hello World" is treated as a single argument), so you don't need to manually calculate byte lengths or hex codes.
• RESP Protocol: Native implementation of the serialization protocol used by VECS.
• Lightweight: Zero external dependencies (uses standard C libraries).
