42_Minishell

The objective of this project is to create a shell like BASH.

Introduction:

The existence of shells is linked to the very existence of IT. At the time, all coders agreed. that communicating with a computer using aligned 1/0 switches was seriously. irritating. It was only logical that they came up with the idea to communicate with. a computer using interactive lines of commands in a language somewhat close to english.

With Minishell, you’ll be able to travel through time and come back to problems people faced when Windows didn’t exist.

This minishell:

  • Dont interpret unclosed quotes or unspecified special characters.
  • Show a prompt when waiting for a new command.
  • Have a working History.
  • Search and launch the right executable (based on the PATH variable or by using relative or absolute path).
  • implement the builtins:
    • echo with option -n.
    • cd with only a relative or absolute path.
    • pwd with no options.
    • export with no options.
    • unset with no options.
    • env with no options or arguments.
    • exit with no options.
  • inhibit all interpretation of a sequence of characters.
  • " inhibit all interpretation of a sequence of characters except for $.
  • Redirections:
    • < redirect input.
    • > redirect output.
    • << read input from the current source until a line containing only the delimiter is seen. it doesn’t need to update history!
    • >> should redirect output with append mode.
  • Pipes | The output of each command in the pipeline is connected via a pipe to the input of the next command.
  • Environment variables ($ followed by characters) should expand to their values.
  • $? should expand to the exit status of the most recently executed foreground pipeline.
  • ctrl-C ctrl-D ctrl-\ work like in bash.
  • When interactive:
    • ctrl-C print a new prompt on a newline.
    • ctrl-D exit the shell.
    • ctrl-\ do nothing.
