cat-go

This is a small fun project that I submitted when applying for a job at Canonical a few years ago. This application replicates and fully implements the cat utility.

building

To build cat execute

go build -o cat cmd/cat.go

Test files

This repo comes with two test files that allow you to explore the features offered by cat.

• test.txt has text and empty lines.
• test.bin has an enumerated list and the corresponding character for all ascii values. To show unprintable characters use the --show-nonprinting flag.
