My first Rust CLI tool
This is a useless cli tool of a cat echoing what you say.
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
You can either provide your text:
catsay hello there
catsay "hello there"
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)
To build this project you need the Rust language installed:
cargo build
And to run it:
cargo run hello there
