Haffman algorithm based encoder and decoder project

Building

It's possible to build encoder and decoder executable in two ways: by simple Makefile or cmake engine.

make

One thing you need is to type make inside project root - then encoder and decoder will be placed into bin directory.

cmake

Create create build directory where it convinient for you and change current directory to this one. Type cmake <project-root-path> and then if all rigth cmake --build .

Use haffman encode

If you built encode with make run it as following:

> bin/encode file-to-encode encoded-file-name

file-to-encode will be encoded by 5Mb blocks into encoded-file-name

Use haffman decode

If you built decode with make run it as following:

> bin/decode encoded-file-name decoded-file-name

encoded-file-name will be decoded block by block as you encoded it previously. If you try to decode wrong file it won't be decoded with error message.

That's all
