Huffman

Huffman coding is a famous algorithm for lossless data compression.

To use the C# implementation, you should have .NET 5.0 installed.

1. Go to the c-sharp directory and build the project:

   cd c-sharp
   dotnet build --configuration Release

2. Use it:

   # compress a file
   dotnet build/net5.0/Huffman.Cli.dll compress path/to/file.txt path/to/archive.huffman
   
   # expand a compressed file
   dotnet build/net5.0/Huffman.Cli.dll expand path/to/archive.huffman path/to/expanded/file.txt
