librcnb: RCNB Encoding/Decoding Routines

Overview:

librcnb is a library of ANSI C routines for fast encoding/decoding data into and from a rcnb-encoded format. C++ wrappers are included, as well as the source code for standalone encoding and decoding executables.

References:

• RCNB.js: https://github.com/rcnbapp/RCNB.js
• RCNB.php, another implementation of the rcnb encoding: https://github.com/rcnbapp/RCNB.php

Commandline Use:

There is an executable available, it is simply called rcnb. It can encode and decode files, as instructed by the user.

To encode a file: $ ./rcnb -e filea fileb fileb will now be the rcnb-encoded version of filea.

To decode a file: $ ./rcnb -d fileb filec filec will now be identical to filea.

Programming:

Some C++ wrappers are provided as well, so you don't have to get your hands dirty. Encoding from standard input to standard output is as simple as

#include <rcnb/encode.h>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
	rcnb::encoder E;
	setlocale(LC_ALL, "");
	E.encode(std::cin, std::wcout);
	return 0;
}

Both standalone executables and a static library is provided in the package,

Example code:

The 'examples' directory contains some simple example code, that demonstrates how to use the interface of the library.
