Build Instructions

  1. Run make.
  2. That's about it, really.

Installation

W-why? :\

I guess if you reaaaaaally want to you can build this and then do this:

sudo install -m 755 rotXX /usr/local/bin

But...but why?

Usage

./rotXX [number of digits to rotate]

If the number of digits is not specified, rotXX defaults to 13. You know, like rot13. :D

If rotXX is executed as specified above, it'll pretty much behave the same way that cat does, aside from that whole "substitution cipher" thing. Type something, hit ENTER, and a bunch of gibberish will be thrown on the line. Use CTRL-C to abort.

Alternatively, you can pipe things to rotXX. If I wanted to rot18 a file called my_journal.txt, I could do the following (note, don't do this. Simple substitution ciphers are easy to spot and easier to break):

cat my_journal.txt | rotXX 18
