CMPrs: A Huffman Coding Implementation

Introduction

CMPrs is a simple and efficient implementation of Huffman coding in Rust. It provides a command-line interface for both compressing and decompressing files.

How to Use

To use CMPrs, first install it using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/j03-dev/cmprs
cd cmprs
cargo build --release

Once installed, you can use CMPrs to compress a file using the following command:

cmprs -c input.txt output.cmprs

This will create a compressed file called output.cmprs.

To decompress a file, use the following command:

cmprs -d input.cmprs output.txt

This will create a decompressed file called output.txt.

Features

  • Simple and easy to use command-line interface
  • Efficient Huffman coding algorithm
  • Supports both compression and decompression
  • Cross-platform support

Benefits

  • Reduced file sizes
  • Faster file transfers
  • Improved data security

Requirements

  • Rust 1.61 or later
  • A text editor

Getting Started

  1. Install Rust from the official website.
  2. Install CMPrs using the command above.
  3. Open a terminal window and navigate to the directory containing the file you want to compress or decompress.
  4. Use the cmprs command to compress or decompress the file.

Example

To compress the file input.txt and save the compressed file as output.cmprs, run the following command:

cmprs -c input.txt output.cmprs

To decompress the file output.cmprs and save the decompressed file as output.txt, run the following command:

cmprs -d output.cmprs output.txt
