Simple Shell Project

Project Description

This project is a simple Unix shell implementation, adhering to specified requirements. The shell supports both interactive and non-interactive modes and uses the allowed functions and system calls. The goal is to provide a basic shell environment with minimal functionality.

Compilation Instructions

To compile the shell, use the following command:

gcc -Wall -Werror -Wextra -pedantic -std=gnu89 *.c -o hsh
List of allowed functions and system calls
access (man 2 access)
chdir (man 2 chdir)
close (man 2 close)
closedir (man 3 closedir)
execve (man 2 execve)
exit (man 3 exit)
_exit (man 2 _exit)
fflush (man 3 fflush)
fork (man 2 fork)
free (man 3 free)

wait4 (man 2 wait4)
write (man 2 write)
Compilation
Your shell will be compiled this way:

gcc -Wall -Werror -Wextra -pedantic -std=gnu89 *.c -o hsh
Testing
Your shell should work like this in interactive mode:

$ ./hsh
($) /bin/ls
hsh main.c shell.c
($)
($) exit
$
But also in non-interactive mode:

$ echo "/bin/ls" | ./hsh
hsh main.c shell.c test_ls_2
$
$ cat test_ls_2
/bin/ls
/bin/ls
$
$ cat test_ls_2 | ./hsh
hsh main.c shell.c test_ls_2
hsh main.c shell.c test_ls_2
$
