The provided Makefile compiles both binaries by running make (GNU Make) on a terminal. Individual binaries mini-aes and accuracy-test can be compiled by running make mini-aes and make accuracy-test respectively. make clean clears the src/ directory of object files, while make distclean both removes object files and the compiled binaries.
mini-aes is meant to be run either in encryption or decryption mode on either a plaintext file or standard input, and is meant to be run in the same directory as the Makefile. It requires two commandline arguments to not fail with an error; the first is the mode encryption or decryption and the second either the path to a file or a standard-input string (whether indirectly provided via piping or directly provided).
When a file is encrypted or decrypted, the result is written to a file in the encrypted or decrypted folder respectively. When stdin input is encrypted or decrypted, the original text and its result are logged to stdout.
Note that running mini-aes on a file may be exclusive to Linux operating systems.
accuracy-test is run without any commandline arguments to compare 100,000 randomly generated strings of 10,000 characters each to the result after encryption and decryption. It will log to stdout every 10,000 tests what test it is on and the running accuracy for previously run tests. At the end it will display the final accuraacy of running all tests.
