In this Assignment write a program using C language and have to include .c and .h file and also have to make a make file.

In this assignment you will practice using the file system API (as well as pointers in different data structures). In particular you will be creating, opening, reading, writing, and deleting files. Your task is to write an indexing program, called an indexer. Given a set of files, an indexer will parse the files and create an inverted index, which maps each token found in the files to the subset of files that contain that token. In you r indexer, you will also maintain the frequency with which each token appears in each file. The indexer should tokenize the files and produce an inverted index of how many times the word occurred in each file, sorted by word. Your output should be in the following format:

INTRODUCTION:

count0 count1 count2 count3 count4

The above depiction gives a logical view of the inverted index. In your program, you have to define data structures to hold the mappings (token to list) and the records (file name, count). An inverted index is a sequence of mappings where each mapping maps a token (e.g., dog) to a list of records, with each record containing the name of a file whose content contains the token and the frequency with which the token appears in that filename.

Your indexer should output: 1 1 1 1 3 1 2 1

The inverted index file that your indexer writes must follow the XML format defined above. Words must be sorted in alphanumeric order. All characters of a word should be first converted to lowercase before the word is counted. Your output should print with the lists arranged in alphanumeric order (a to z, 0 to 9) of the tokens. The filenames in your output should be in descending order by frequency count (highest frequency to lowest frequency).If there is a word with the same frequency in two or more files, order them by path name alphanumerically (a to z, 0 to 9). After constructing the entire inverted index in memory, the indexer will save it to a file.

IMPLEMENTATION:

program must implement the following command-line interface: invertedIndex The first argument, , gives the name of a file that you should create to hold your inverted index. The second argument, , gives the name of the directory or file that your indexer should index. If the second argument is a directory, you need to recursively index all files in the directory (and its sub-directories). If the second argument is a file, you just need to index that single file. When indexing files in a directory, you may have files that have the same name in separate directories. You should combine all token frequencies for the same filename regardless of which directory it appears in. We define tokens as any sequence of consecutive alphanumeric characters (az, A-Z, 0-9) starting with an alphabetic character. Examples of tokens according to the above definition include: a, aba, c123 If a file contains This an$example12 mail@rutgers it should tokenize to this an example12 mail rutgers The XML format lets us easily read the inverted index for debugging. You should carefully consider how the program may break and code it robustly. You should outline and implement a strategy to deal with potential problems and inconsistencies. For example, if a file already exists with the same name as the inverted-index file name, you should ask the user if they wish to overwrite it. If the name of the directory or file you want to index does not exist, your indexer should print an error message and exit gracefully rather than crash. There are many other error cases that you ought to consider.

HINT:

Data structures that might be useful include a list that sorts as you insert and/or a hash table. A custom record type (e.g., a record ({"baa" : 3}) that can be inserted into multiple data structures, such as a sorted list and/or a hash table). You should probably approach this in steps: o First, build a simple tokenizer to parse tokens from a file. o Next, get your program to walk through a directory. o Next, implement a data structure that allows you to count the number of occurrences of each unique token in a file.
