Sudoku Example Client

This is the description of a command line client that shows the functions of the Sudoku library.

Building it

For building the application you need Apache Maven. Use the following command line:

$ mvn clean compile assembly:single

Usage

The command line options for the client are as follows:

 -e (-exec) [Full | Riddle | Both |     : The operation to perform (default:
 Solve]                                   Full)
 -f (-format) [PlainText |              : The output format to use (default:
 MarkDownTable]                           MarkDownTable)
 -h (-help)                             : Show this command line help (default:
                                          true)
 -i (-input) PATH                       : Input file to read for solving
 -n (-count) N                          : The number of outputs to create
                                          (default: 1)
 -q (-quiet)                            : No output (default: false)
 -t (-time)                             : Show timing information (default:
                                          false)
