 ## Use of the `transactionalClient` 
+Your `transactionalClient.go` takes several arguments (see code), but the two important ones
+are:
+- `-p` - tells your code to do two things:
+  - write a commit/abort notification for each transaction as it's fate is decided
+  - at end-of-text write out the contents of your KV store, ordered lexicographically by key value. Only
+    written values need be printed.
+- `-s` use snapshot isolation instead serializable isolation

 `transactionalClient.go` differs from `client.go` in that it reads commands
 interactively. Once started, it reads commands (arbitrary strings) from STDIN
 and sends them to replica 0. The sole exceptions are:

 ### Strict Serializability
 I will run the replica set as `run.rb 3`, and the client as `go run transactionalClient.go
 -p` or `go run transactionalClient.go -p -s`.
