roflcat is a C++ rewrite of lolcat 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 0.1a as of writing this, so if the version is much newer, remind me to update this readme :)

Building

There is no release right now. There is only the debug build which will produce an executable called 'tester'. To build just run make.

Installing

I would not recommend installing at this time. There is no install target in the makefile.
