How akashpriyadarshii/zcat works
zcat is a streaming command-line cat replacement with GNU-compatible line options and a separate structured JSON mode. The README documents the main entry point, argument parser, core processing module, and platform I/O behavior; source excerpts were unavailable, so internal call wiring is limited to those documented relationships.
Main entry points: main.zig Entry point · Cat.zig Raw system I/O · Args.zig Argument parsing
