Huffman coding compression tool

Description

Important

WIP

This is a work in progress and is not yet ready for use (and may never be).

(Educational and recreational) Implementation of a simple Huffman coding compression tool in Rust.

Only supports text files.

Usage

cargo run -- [OPTION] [FILE]

or compile with

cargo build

and then

./target/debug/comp_tool [OPTION] [FILE]

Details

Compression

The compression command creates a compressed file named output.bin in the same directory as the input file.

Decompression

The decompression command creates a decompressed file named output.txt in the same directory as the input file.

Options

• -c compress the file
• -d decompress the file
