HuffmanCoder

Encode and decode huffman messages padded to 1460 bytes

Building

cd into the same directory as the .csproj file and run one of the following:

dotnet publish -r ubuntu.20.04-x64 -c Release /p:PublishSingleFile=true /p:PublishTrimmed=true --self-contained for linux

dotnet publish -r win10-x64 -c Release /p:PublishSingleFile=true /p:PublishTrimmed=true --self-contained for windows

This will create bin/Release/netcoreapp3.1/<either win10-x64 or ubuntu.20.04-x64>/publish which will contain the executable which can then be run using the command line (HuffmanCoder.exe on windows and ./HuffmanCoder on linux)

Usage

HuffmanCoder <read/write> <in file> <out file> is the basic syntax. If reading, stdout is allowed for outfile

Make sure you have a tree.json file in the same directory when reading

If you want to read a file called cyber1: HuffmanCoder read cyber1 stdout will read the contents

If you want to write the contents of bigfile.txt into cyber1: HuffmanCoder write bigfile.txt cyber1
