File Compression and Decompression program written in C

Uses Huffmancoding to ensure lossless compression. Capable of compressing/decompressing a single file or recursively traversing directories for all normal files.

• ./fileCompressor <flag> <path or file> |codebook|
  • Flags:
    • b : Builds the codebook
    • c : compresses
    • d : decompresses
    • R : recursive mode

• Examples:
  • ./fileCompressor -R -b ./ will build the codebook for all files/directories in your current project.
  • ./fileCompressor -b file1.txt will build the codebook for file1.txt
  • ./fileCompressor -R -c ./dir1 ./HuffmanCodeBook will compress all of dir1 using the HuffmanCodeBook provided.
  • ./fileCompressor -d ./dir1/file3.txt ./HuffmanCodeBook will decompress file3.txt using the HuffmanCodeBook provided.
