A high-performance, zero external dependency AFATADS GTCS client for TIDET event ingestion and retrieval.

• Zero External Dependencies: Uses only the Python Standard Library.
• Python 3.7+ Compatibility: Runs on all modern Python versions (3.7 to 3.13+).
• Cross-Platform: Tested on Windows and Linux.
• Multiple Transports:
  • TCP: Delimiter-framed TIDET streams (with optional TLS).
  • UDP: Multicast/Unicast datagrams.
  • REST: Polling of TAK-Server or compatible HTTP endpoints.
• Time-Sharded Storage: Efficiently stores TIDET events in a yyyy/mm/dd directory structure.
• CLI Tool: Powerful command-line interface for ingestion, reading, and status checks.

Copy config.example.json to config.json and edit it with your GTCS endpoint details:

cp config.example.json config.json
# Or on Windows
copy config.example.json config.json

Linux:

./afatads.sh ingest -c config.json

Windows (PowerShell):

.\afatads.ps1 ingest -c config.json

Windows (Command Prompt):

afatads.bat ingest -c config.json

./afatads.sh read -c config.json --all

• ingest: Connect to GTCS endpoints and start ingesting TIDET events to disk.
• read: Retrieve events from the local store.
  • --all: Dump all events.
  • --date YYYY-MM-DD: Events for a specific day.
  • --target AB1234: Search for events by target number.
• status: Show storage statistics and date ranges.
