Rust Trash Generator

What is it?

This program named Trash Generator was written in the Rust programming language. It does one simple thing; it generates trash (and it does it's job pretty well). So, if you ever wanted to fill you computer with a 5GB file containing random characters, you now can.

Installation

  1. Install Rust, according to https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install
  2. Install Git and clone the repository from the command line using git clone https://github.com/Oakchris1955/Trash-Generator.git or by clicking the green button saying Code in https://github.com/Oakchris1955/Trash-Generator.git clicking Download ZIP and unzipping the .zip file
  3. Open a terminal and cd to the directory you cloned the repository
  4. From there, you can use regular cargo command (like cargo build or cargo run --release) (In my opinion, it is better to build a release build by executing cargo build --release and then running the standalone executable)

Usage

You can just type EXECUTABLE_PATH.exe --help to get help about how to use the program, but basically, the arguments define the output filename, the characters within the output file and other various arguments
