## About
|
|
roflcat is a C++ rewrite of [lolcat][1] which runs much faster and supports all the options of GNU cat. I am not going to support the animation options of lolcat (--animate, --duration, --speed) because there is no real purpose to them.
|
|
Currently I can only confirm it runs on a linux system and I have no desire to expand to supporting anything else at this time.
|
|
|
|
To keep compatability with both GNU cat and lolcat, I wanted all command line options from both to either be implemented or ignored. However there are a few conflicts between the two, namely -s -t and -v. For these I will be implementing the GNU cat functionality.

|
|
Current version is 1.1 as of writing this, so if the version is much newer, remind me to update this readme :)
