dog-tool

d-dog is a simple command-line tool inspired by the UNIX cat command, implemented in the D programming language.

Usage

$ dog <file>

For example, to display the content of poem.txt

$ dog poem.txt

Build

Make sure you have dmd and dub installed on your system. In case you don't have the tools installed, you can go to the official Dlang website and download the necessary installer for your system, or install it from the repositories of your distribution's package manager if you use Linux.

To verify that they are installed correctly and you have it on your system, type these commands depending on your system:

DMD (Compiler)

UNIX-Like and UNIX Systems

$ dmd --version

Windows

> dmd --version

DUB (project manager)

UNIX-Like and UNIX systems

$ dub --version

Windows

> dub --version

After you have verified that you have these tools installed, you can run:

$ dub build

Adding it to the global system (optional)

UNIX-Like and UNIX systems:

$ sudo mv dog /usr/local/bin

By the way, if you want, you can also use doas:

$ doas mv dog /usr/local/bin

Windows

If you want to run dog.exe from any location on the command line, you can add the directory where dog.exe is located to the system PATH. You can follow these steps:

  • Right-click on This Computer (or My Computer) in File Explorer and select Properties.
  • In the System Properties window, click on Advanced System Settings.
  • In the System Properties window, go to the Advanced tab and click on Environment Variables.
  • In the System Variables section, find the variable called Path and click Edit.
  • Click on New and add the path to the project directory.
  • Click OK in all windows to save the changes.

Contributions

Your collaboration would be a great help and something I would appreciate, you are welcome to contribute. Of course, although it is obvious, you must know how to program in Dlang, and also DO NOT write malicious code.
