nym

A Unix-style program for creating acronyms and initialisms.

nym reads text input from stdin and writes the initials of the input to stdout.

$ echo "the world's worst superhero squad name" | nym
TWWSSN

To Build

nym uses the GNU build process:

$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make

To Install

After building (see above):

# make install

Hacking

nym uses the GNU coding style for C with a strict 79-column limit in the source code. Indentations are two spaces, and tab characters are eight spaces. It is polite to use a tab character any time eight spaces would be used in an indentation, but it is not required.
