Compiling and Testing

This program allows a couple of compiling options.

The simplest way is to compile by make You can test cat by running cd scripts && ./full_test.sh This will benchmark your systems cat, against mine.

Make Options:

• make : compiles cat.c with the -Ofast flag
• make debug : adds debugging symbols to the program
• make install : moves slimcat to the /usr/bin dir and moves the man page
• make uninstall : deletes slimcat and its man page
• make unsafe-install : copies the default cat to cat.bak and moves this cat.out to the /usr/bin file
• make unsafe-uninstall : replaces cat with cat.bak from install
