About

This is a simple program that can convert temperature from fahrenheit to celsius and vice-versa, the usage is explained bellow and pretty straight-forward.

The program should be quite light-weighted and easy to use in bigger systems, I personally created it because I Found a need for a program that quickly calculates this for me through CLI for implementation with different scripts and automations, also I found that C++ is quite a bit faster and much better optimized in doing this than php

Compilation

To compile the program it's quite straight forward on linux, simply run the compile.sh file, which requires the g++ package, to install it on Debian based systems simply run sudo apt install g++.

Usage

The package was created expecting pipe-in stdin, you can pipe input straight into it or you can simply run it and type numbers in, simplest usages is: echo 64 | ./tempera which will return 17.7778, you can add this to your /usr/bin folder or /bin fir ease of use, or simply add it to your path.

If you wish to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit simply add in another argument to the program, so when you type echo 16 | ./tempera 1 it will return 60.8

Examples

# 🌡 Fahrenheit -> Celsius
echo 64 | ./tempera # Returns 17.7778

# 🌡 Celsius -> Fahrenheit
echo 16 | ./tempera 1 # returns 60.8

Disclaimer

I literally made this at 12:00AM, it's dead-simple and nothing special, just write it yourself if you're goign to implement it, I just wanted to have a binary download somewhere
