nimcat

This is a simple command line utility that replicates some of the functionality of the cat command found on most Linux systems.

I threw it together as a simple way to get to grips with nim.

---

Precompiled Binaries

Any version of nimcat that has already been compiled can be found in the bins folder.

---

Compiling:

You will need nim installed.

To produce a production-quality executable, I recommend:

nim c -d:release nimcat.nim
strip nimcat

Strip may not be available on your system, but significantly reduces the size of the executable.

---

Usage:

You can either pipe content to nimcat:

echo "this, that, other" | ./nimcat

$ thisthatother

Or you can interactively input it:

./nimcat
-> this, that, other
$ thisthatother
