Creator: 42 staff. Task description

What is it about?

Minishell is a simple unix command line interpreter, also including several built in shell functions. Such as:

• echo
• cd
• env
• setenv
• unsetenv
• exit

During the development I used bash and csh terminals as a reference. Additional features:

• Signal handling(ctrl-C, ctrl-D).
• Colors.
• Multi command support(separated by ;).
• Advanced quotes support. Weak/strong quotes expantion. Managing correct quotes input.
• Using errno for correct error management.

How does it work?

Building

Download and compile the repo:

    git clone https://github.com/IvanKozlov95/minishell
    cd minishell
    make

Executable minishell will be created.

Using

Launch minishell executable. Minishell will be launched inside of your terminal. Feel free to go around and have fun. It supports all shell commands without anything advanced. So no pipes and redirections. However commands can be separated by ;.
