Jimver / catsay

My first Rust CLI tool

catsay

This is a useless cli tool of a cat echoing what you say.

Installation

If you have snap installed (Ubuntu 16.04 and up) you can simply install using:

sudo snap install cat-say

And run it like:

cat-say hello

If you don't have snap you can just get the latest binaries here

Operation

You can either provide your text:

• Like separate arguments

catsay hello there

• As a single string

catsay "hello there"

• As standard input

echo "hello there" | catsay

For help run either:

• catsay -h
• catsay --help

Note: when no argument is given (so just catsay) the program assumes the input will come from stdin so it will block until it receives an EOF (Ctrl+D)

Build instructions

To build this project you need the Rust language installed:

cargo build

And to run it:

cargo run hello there

TODOs

• Add tests
• Proper help message
