Build

Building everything

$ make

OR

$ make all

Building encode

$ make encode

Building decode

$ make decode

Running

encode

$ ./encode [-vh] [-i input] [-o output]

The encode program encodes a file. You can specify the following command line arguments.

• -h: Shows help and usage
• -i infile: Input containing graph (default: stdin)
• -o outfile: Output of computed path (default: stdout)
• -v: Enable verbose printing.

decode

$ ./decode [-vh] [-i input] [-o output]

The decode program decodes a file. You can specify the following command line arguments.

• -h: Shows help and usage
• -i infile: Input containing graph (default: stdin)
• -o outfile: Output of computed path (default: stdout)
• -v: Enable verbose printing.

Cleaning

$ make clean
