Minishell

My own shell made in C!
I made this little shell based on bash in partnership with Justine Badia.

Alt Text

What can it do? :

  • 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)
  • 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 $.
  • Redirections:
    • < redirect input.
    • > redirect output.
    • “<<” read input from the current source until a line containing only the delimiter is seen.
    • “>>” redirect output with append mode.
  • Pipes | The output of each command in the pipeline is connected via a pipe to the input of the next command.
  • Environment variables ($ followed by characters) expand to their values.
  • $? expand to the exit status of the most recently executed foreground pipeline.
  • ctrl-C ctrl-D ctrl-\ work like in bash.
