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.
- Install Rust, according to https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install
- 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 sayingCode
in https://github.com/Oakchris1955/Trash-Generator.git clickingDownload ZIP
and unzipping the .zip file - Open a terminal and
cd
to the directory you cloned the repository - From there, you can use regular cargo command (like
cargo build
orcargo run --release
) (In my opinion, it is better to build a release build by executingcargo build --release
and then running the standalone executable)
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
