fequip is a command line tool designed for equipping files to enhance their storage and transfer capabilities. It includes methods for file compression using Huffman encoding and LZW, as well as file encryption and decryption. Files processed with fequip are stored with unique extensions for easy identification. The command line tool is implemented in C++ for better performance and security.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install fequipThis has been implemented by maintaining a personal repository which requires an up and running server. So if in any case, there is any difficulty in operating the server, please drop an issue in the same repository and it should be fixed soon. This is because the remote repository is being hosted on apache-2 server.
This can also be resolved by locally downloading the .deb file and building the projects locally. This is available in local_setup directory.
General usage:
fequip -command -type <input_file>For help in using the tool, run:
fequip -helpA few commands are available for equipping on the files :
compress: Compresses the input file using specified compression algorithm.encrypt: Encrypts the input file using specified encryption cipher.decrypt: Decrypts the encrypted input file using specified decryption cipher.
-compress: Specify compression algorithm (-huffmanor-lzw).-encrypt: An encryption cipher is used (-cipher)
fequip -compress huffman <input_file>Produces <input_file>.cmp and <input_file>.map.
fequip -encrypt cipher <input_file>Produces <input_file>.enc and <input_file>.key.
fequip -decrypt cipher <input_file>.enc <input_file>.keyProduces <input_file>.dec.
