An extremely simple teletext client

An extremely simple Swedish Television Text TV Client [1,2] for the Linux command line. Written as a toy project to learn Rust. The actual protocol is https since SVT's teletext [3] can also be accessed online.

Compile instructions

A Linux 64 bit executable binary is also provided in the repo root.

git clone https://github.com/oscar-franzen/text-tv-client

cd text-tv-client

cargo r --release

Usage

Just run the executable without arguments:

./text_tv_cli

The -u flag can be used to change the user agent, for example:

./text_tv_cli -u "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:53.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/53.0"

Headlines are changed to green color for new headlines (compared to last time the program was executed).

Is this program useful if I don't know Swedish?

No.
