Struct WriteConfig

pub struct WriteConfig<'a> {
    pub print_to_cli: bool,
    pub output_file: File,
    pub metadata_args: MetadataArgs<'a>,
    pub m_type: u32,
    pub is_multi_origin: bool,
    pub is_symmetric: bool,
    pub worker_map: BiHashMap<u32, String>,
}

Configuration for the results writing process.

This struct bundles all the necessary parameters for write_results to determine where and how to output measurement results, including formatting options and contextual metadata.

Fields

print_to_cli: bool

Determines whether the results should also be printed to the command-line interface.

output_file: File

The file handle to which the measurement results should be written.

metadata_args: MetadataArgs<'a>

Metadata for the measurement, to be written at the beginning of the output file.

m_type: u32

The type of measurement being performed, influencing how results are processed or formatted. (e.g., 1 for ICMP, 2 for DNS/A, 3 for TCP, 4 for DNS/CHAOS, etc.)

is_multi_origin: bool

Indicates whether the measurement involves multiple origins, which affects how results are written.

is_symmetric: bool

Indicates whether the measurement is symmetric (e.g., sender == receiver is always true), to simplify certain result interpretations.

worker_map: BiHashMap<u32, String>

A bidirectional map used to convert worker IDs (u32) to their corresponding hostnames (String).
