A collection of simple UNIX utilities implemented in C. The goal of this series of mini projects is to explore the C Programming Language, hence we may explore multiple approaches to the same task.
A minimal implementation of the cat command, which reads and displays the contents of one or more files.
A simple implementation of the grep command, which searches for a pattern in one or more files and displays the matching lines.
A simple implementation of zip and unzip compression utilities, using the Run-length Encoding Algorithm.
A library of helper functions which we develop as we go on, which is used by the above utilities, providing functionality for file I/O, string manipulation, and more.
- Compile:
gcc ../helperFunctions/functions.c mcat.c -o mcat - Run:
./mcat file1 file2 ...
- Compile:
gcc m../helperFunctions/functions.c grep.c -o mgrep - Run:
./mgrep pattern file1 file2 ...
- Under development
