# entro Originally designed to determine the entropy of a file, this Rust program counts the character frequency from a file or `stdin`. ## Installation `cargo install entro` ## Usage ``` Program to count character frequency from FILE or STDIN Usage: entro [OPTIONS] [FILE] Arguments: [FILE] Input file or STDIN if not provided Options: -x, --hex Print in hex -b, --binary Print in binary -l, --length Length of bars in histogram [default: 50] --bar-char Bar character [default: ─] --bar-cap Bar cap character (ending) [default: ⎸] -h, --help Print help information -V, --version Print version information ```
The `-x` flag prints the key for the character in hexadecimal
The `-b` option prints the key for the character in binary
The `-l` option modifies the maximum length of the histogram (all data is clamped within this value)
The `--bar-char` option changes what character is used for the bar portion of the histogram
The `--bar-cap` option changes what character is used for the ending character for the bar (the cap)
