cat2

Simple clone of the GNU coreutils program cat(1). Give it a list of files and it will print their contents to stdout.

Building

Building from source requires a C compiler and CMake 3.5 or greater. In the top-level source directory, run the following:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make

Alternatively:

cmake -B build
cmake --build build

The resulting binary will be found at build/cat2.

Running

Usage: cat2 file1 file2 ...
Prints the contents of one or more files to stdout.

  -h, --help     print a brief help message
  -v, --version  output the program version number and license information

TODO

• print from stdin if no files specified
• integration and/or unit tests
• formatting options (line numbers, compressed whitespace, etc.)
