SS -simple shell-

Anthony Armour and Adam Taylor's submission for project 0x16. C - Simple Shell

General info

SS (short for simple shell) is a replica of the shell within a Linux based operating system's terminal.

Usability

Our simple shell has currently all of the following concepts implemented:

• Beautiful code that passes all Betty checks
• A Unix command line interpreter
• Handling command lines with arguments
• Handling the PATH
• The EXIT built-in command
• The env built-in command
• The use of our own hand-written getline function
• The use of our own hand-written strtok function
• Handling arguments for the built-in exit
• Handling Crtl+C
• The setenv and unsetenv built-in commands
• The cd built-in command
• The command separator ;
• The 'alias' built-in command
• Handling comments (#)
• Handling a file as input

Usage

Compile the program using:

gcc -o SS *.c

Then you are free to use any of the above useable commands/built-ins as shown below:

./SS [COMMAND] [ARGUMENTS]

• [COMMAND] = The command you would like the simple shell to execute
• [ARGUMENTS] = Whichever arguments you would like to pass with your command
