c2pio

c2pio is a command-line tool for downloading files from a given URL. The project is developed in C++ and uses the libcurl library for HTTP communication.

Prerequisites

You'll need CMake (version 3.10 or higher) and a C++ compiler that supports the C++11 standard. The libcurl development library must also be installed on your system.

To install the necessary dependencies on Ubuntu or other Debian-based systems, run:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install cmake build-essential libcurl4-openssl-dev

Compiling

Follow these steps to compile the project:

git clone https://codeberg.org/cwansart/c2pio.git
cd c2pio
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .

After compilation, you'll find the executable c2pio in the build directory.

Usage

The tool is executed from the command line.

./c2pio <url> <out-file>

• <url>: The URL of the file to download.
• <out-file>: The path to save the file to. If not specified, the filename is extracted from the URL.

Examples

• Download a file and save it with a custom name:

  ./c2pio https://example.com/data/file.zip my_file.zip
