== Overview ==

POC to compile a data set into a modified radix tree, and applying huffman encoding.

== Usage ==

Take in an v1 x509 certificate, and extract the content sets, output them to newline delimited output

$> ruby ./thing.rb d this-cert.pem > this-cert.list

Process this output to generate the compiled output

$> ruby ./thing.rb c this-cert.list

This would produce a file named 'this-cert.bin' Then, the unpack the binary with:

$> ./unpack this-cert.bin

== Code compiles ==

To compile the 'unpack' command, just run make. ( this requires make, gcc, and zlib-devel)
