# Colcat

## Make cat colorful again!

Colcat is like the GNU cat utility, except it colors every column of each line with a different color.

It doesn't care or knows about the output and syntax, it just prints a different color after each space.

It's actually (surprisingly) pretty useful to read logs and any kind of output with large columns!

And more importantly it's cool.

Also I used a 8192 bytes buffer size which seems to output text faster than the GNU cat.
