zigcat\n\nAs a lerning exercise to get to know zig I build a small command line tool that works like cat.\nMost GNU cat commandline options are implemented.\n\n### Missing options (all depend on --show-nonprinting)\n* -A, --show-all\n* -e\n* -t\n* -v, --show-nonprinting\n\nFeedback from more experienced zig developers is verry welcome.\nIf you find any bug or you see some non-idiomatic costructs please let me know.\n\n## Usage\nsee [src/USAGE.txt](https://github.com/SuSonicTH/zigcat/blob/master/src/USAGE.txt)\n\n## Licence\nzigcat is licenced under the MIT licence\n\nsee [LICENSE.txt](https://github.com/SuSonicTH/zigcat/blob/master/LICENSE.txt)\n\n## Build requirements\nTo build zigcat you just need the zig compiler, which can be downloaded from [https://ziglang.org/download/](https://ziglang.org/download/)\nCurrently this builds with zig 0.16.0, I will update the project for future versions.\nThere is no installation needed, just download the package for your operating system an extract the archive and add it to your `PATH`\n\n## Build\nIf you have zig installed and on your `PATH` just cd into the directory and execute `zig build`\n\nThe first build takes a while and when it's finished you'll find the executeable (zigcat or zigcat.exe) in zig-out/bin/\n\nYou can run the built-in unit tests with `zig build test` If everything is ok you will see no output.\n\nOr you can run `zig test src/main.zig` that should give you the output \"All 10 tests passed.\" if everything is OK.\n\nTo create an optimized release build run `zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseFast`\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsusonicth%2Fzigcat","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsusonicth%2Fzigcat","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsusonicth%2Fzigcat/lists"}
