zcat

zcat is a minimalist reimplementation of the Unix cat utility, written in Zig. This project is created for learning purposes and offers a streamlined set of features compared to the original cat command.

Features

• Concatenate Files: Read files sequentially and output their content to the standard output.
• Read from Standard Input: If no files are specified, zcat reads from standard input.

Installation

To build zcat, you need to have Zig installed. Follow these steps to install and build the project:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ademyanchuk/zcat.git
   cd zcat

2. Build the project:

   zig build

3. The compiled executable will be available in zig-out/bin/.

Usage

Run zcat with one or more filenames as arguments to concatenate their contents:

./zcat file1.txt file2.txt

If no files are specified, zcat reads from standard input:

./zcat
