Huffman Compression

This package uses the Huffman Compression algorithm to compress the size of files. The compressed file can later be decompressed to get back the initial file. The compression generates a .huf file.

It accepts 3 compulsory arguments:

  • The mode which accepts 2 possible values C and D. (Compress and Decompress).
  • The path to the input file
  • The path to the output file

To compress a .txt file run

cargo run -- C test.txt compressed

To decompress the compressed file, simply run

cargo run -- D compressed.huf output
