caracat
caracat (always in lowercase) is a port of caracal from C++ to Rust.
The initial motivation was to benefit from a saner build system to make the project easier to maintain. The architecture is very similar between the two projects and the input/output format is the same.
Two example binaries are provided:
# Implementation of caracal command-line interface
cargo run --example caracal -- --help
# (Partial) implementation of yarrp
cargo run --example yarrp -- --help
For more information, please refer to the caracal documentation and to the API documentation.
