💖 bestie, you found FINDLONGEST(1) 💖

okay so welcome to the General Commands Manual page for findlongest. Yes, it's FINDLONGEST(1), and it's here to find the longest repeating sequence. No cap.

✨ NAME ✨

findlongest — finds the longest repeating sequence

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

findlongest --test
findlongest <file>

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

findlongest finds the longest repeating sequence of bits in the given file, up to 34 bits in length.

Lowkey it's exactly what it says on the tin: you give it a file, and it hunts down the longest repeating sequence of bits in there. The sequence can be up to 34 bits long. Periodt.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --test — generates random data (using rand(3)) instead of reading data from a file.

So when you pass --test, it doesn't read a file at all — it makes random data with rand(3) instead. Obsessed.
