ruende

RUst ENcoder & DEcoder

ruende is a general-purpose compression system.

How it works

It uses the LZW algorithm and a block-size of 2 bytes.

So if you give it a file without any potential to use the dictionary, you compress data by a whopping -100% amount!!! (It may sound incredible, but you effectively double the size of your input. Not bad for a first time, Billy!)

Usage

Encode data with this powerful command:

$ ruende SRC DEST

Decode data with this powerfuler command:

$ ruende SRC DEST -d

Read The Fricking Manual with this almighty command:

$ ruende -h

or its english and certainly more distinguished cousin:

$ ruende --help

You're a hipster and you want to build it from source ?

Phase 1.

$ echo "At this point you should really know how to clone a Git project. \
Otherwise, learn it, you won't regret it."
$ cargo build --release

Phase 2. ?

Phase 3. Profit

Legal thingies

Obligatory legal chit-chat.
