Crate zalgo_codec_common

A crate for converting an ASCII text string to a single unicode grapheme cluster and back. Provides the non-macro functionality of the crate zalgo-codec.

Features

• files (enabled by default) — Provides the functions encode_file, decode_file, and wrap_python_file

Enums

• UndecodableFileError
  The error returned by the decoding functions that interact with the file system.
• UnencodableByteError
  The error returned by the encoding functions if they encounter a byte they can not encode.
• UnencodableFileError
  The error returned by the encoding functions that interact with the file system.

Functions

• decode_file
  Decodes the contents of a file that has been encoded with encode_file and stores the result in another file.
• encode_file
  Encodes the contents of the file and stores the result in another file. If carriage return characters are found it will print a message and attempt to encode the file anyway by ignoring them.
• wrap_python_file
  Encodes the contents of the given Python source file and stores the result wrapped in a decoder in another file. This new file retains the functionality of the original. If the source file contains carriage return characters this function will print a message and then attempt to encode it anyway by ignoring them.
• zalgo_decode
  Takes in a string that was encoded by zalgo_encode and decodes it back into an ASCII string.
• zalgo_encode
  Takes in an ASCII string without control characters (except newlines) and “compresses” it to zalgo text using a reversible encoding scheme. The resulting string is a single unicode grapheme cluster and should only take up a single character space horizontally when displayed (though this can vary between platforms depending on how they deal with unicode). The resulting string will be ~2 times larger than the original in terms of bytes, and it can be decoded to recover the original string using zalgo_decode.
• zalgo_wrap_python
  zalgo-encodes an ASCII string containing Python code and wraps it in a decoder that decodes and executes it. The resulting Python code should retain the functionality of the original.
