My learn-by-doing attempt to get into Zig by creating a hexdump utility.; STD library only. Many thanks to ziglings project.

Milestones:

• [] Implement basic functions;
  Basic hexdump formatter;
  Read command line params;
  Handle errors when suppiled params are missing/broken;
  Read data directly from stdin;
  • if there is a valid filename a file will be read;
  • if there is none and there is a data piped the data will be read;
  • otherwise program will be stuck vaiting for an input;
• [] Going deeper;
  • [] Learn zig build system;
    • [] Note: for now this seems pretty straingtforward so I will try to move some function to external zig file and then import it back to the original code (Most likely I will try to implement my own args reading and parsing module);
  • [] Coloured output;
• [] Final steps;
  • [] Support for both -p val amd -p=val command line param formats;
  • [] Code revision, maybe I will know how to redo already implemented stuff in a better way by that moment;
    • [] Add comptime where it is possible;
