# ent: measuring entropy
good review for me...
from a file or stdin, measure the Shannon entropy of the bytes.
reproduction of https://github.com/lsauer/entropy/, but from first principles (clean-room) and in Rust
clap is a bit heavy of a dep for this executable, find a lighter argparse (b/c i don wanna do argparsing myself
unless I _have_ to).
i wanna make rent, so r-ent is a convenient project name...

```sh
cargo install r-ent
```
