This is a useless cli tool of a cat echoing what you say.

## Installation

If you have `snap` installed (Ubuntu 16.04 and up) you can simply install using:

`sudo snap install cat-say`

And run it like:

`cat-say hello`

If you don't have snap you can just get the latest binaries [here](https://github.com/Jimver/catsay/releases/latest)

## Operation

You can either provide your text: 

- Like separate arguments 

`catsay hello there`

- As a single string 

`catsay "hello there"`

- As standard input 

`echo "hello there" | catsay`

For help run either:

- `catsay -h`  

- `catsay --help`

Note: when no argument is given (so just `catsay`) the program assumes the input will come from stdin so it will block until it receives an EOF (Ctrl+D)

## Build instructions

To build this project you need the Rust language installed:

`cargo build`

And to run it:

`cargo run hello there`

## TODOs

- Add tests

- Proper help message
