huffman

This is an implementation of the huffman coding encoder in x86_64 assembly. The purpose of this project was to dive into assembly programming and learn about the huffman coding algorithm. Being so, the code will contain some poor practices and vunerabilities. The assembly in the repository is targetted to intel based darwin operation systems and uses NASM to be assembled.

usage

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/furryfaust/huffman.git

Enter the repository and build:

cd huffman && make

Run the binary with the string to be encoded as the second argument:

./huffman e <string>
