Usage

These examples assume that mimic has been installed as per the instructions below. Before installation, invoke via python -m mimic.

mimic --list           # Show all of the homoglyphs
mimic --explain=o      # What crazy things can we do with this letter?
mimic --me-harder 100  # Type some lines in and mess with every single char
mimic --reverse        # Undo the mayhem. Boooring.
cat somefile | mimic   # Pipe some source through at 1%

# Turn up the knob and save the results
cat somefile | mimic --me-harder 25 > mimicked

# Find out exactly where we broke the source
cat mimicked | mimic --check | less

# Now we know the source is broken, so fix it
cat mimicked | mimic --reverse > fixedfile

# This should output nothing (i.e. the files are the same)
diff fixedfile somefile
