Installation

TODO: Create a useful installer and package from the source!

Copy the files under resources either to /usr/local/share/rig or ~/.local/share/rig and create parent directories as needed. The program will look under both paths preferring the path under the home directory.

After having copied the resource file you can run the code from this directory via zig build run.

Development

Data files

The data files used for generating the output are simple TSV (tab separated values) files. All files MUST be named lang_code.tsv in lower case letters!

Forenames

A forename file SHALL be sorted alphabetically and contain one forename per line.

Surnames

A surname file SHALL be sorted alphabetically and contain one forename per line.

Zip codes and cities

A zip code file SHALL be sorted by zip code and contain the zip code, the matching city and possible further data separated by tabs. An example for "further data" is the department information for french cities.
