Number Converter

A simple base conversion project in Rust.

Installation

Clone the repo and run cargo build --release. The executable numconverter will be in the target/release directory. Run from there, or move/symlink to a location in your PATH (~/bin/ for example).

I alias the name to ncon and derivatives, based on what base I'm inputing:

alias ncon="numconverter"
alias bcon="numconverter --from-base 2"
alias ocon="numconverter --from-base 8"
alias hcon="numconverter --from-base 16"

Dependancies

Install Rust and you will have everything you need (Rust installation instructions).

Uses the structopt crate to handle command line input.

Use

TODO: Document use.

For now numconverter --help will show you the options.
