PROTATE

A command-line utility that rotates each character in an ASCII text file by a certain order. The rotation mechanism is similar to ROT13. Here, each ASCII character is rotated by its ASCII value.

Usage

protate FILE_IN N [-o] [FILE_OUT] [-p] [--h, --help, /?]

Parameters:

• FILE_IN : The input file.
• N : The number of ASCII character rotations to do in each character. A negative value would indicate negative rotation.
• -o FILE_OUT : Would output the result generated from FILE_IN to FILE_OUT. If omitted, the output would be written to ./a.out.
• -p : Previews the output instead of saving it to a file.
• --h, --help, /? : Show usage help.

Building

To build it using gcc or clang, compile it via the command-line using make.
> make protate

Examples

The sample file story.txt contains the following text:

• > protate 30 story.txt -o hiph0p
  Generates text by rotating each character by order +30 and writes the output to ./hiph0p.
• > protate hiph0p -30 -p
  Decrypts the contents of ./hiph0p by rotating it by order -30 and displays it instead of storing it due to the -p flag. If everything goes well, the output will be same as the original story.txt file.
• > protate hiph0p -30
  Decrypts the contents of ./hiph0p by rotating it by order -30, and, since no output file is specified, writes the output to ./a.out. If everything goes well, the output will be same as the original story.txt file.
