Libft is a custom implementation of essential C standard library functions, developed as part of the 42 curriculum. The library includes basic string manipulation, memory management, and linked list functions, providing a solid foundation for building more complex projects in C.
Libft is a collection of functions designed to mimic the standard C library. The goal is to re-implement standard C functions from stdlib.h, string.h, stdio.h, and other common libraries to gain a deeper understanding of low-level operations in C.
- Standard C library functions: Reimplementations of common string, memory, and linked list functions.
- Formatted output with
ft_printf: A function that mimicsprintf, allowing for formatted output. - File reading with
get_next_line: A function that reads a line from a file descriptor.
- Clone this repository to your local machine:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/libft.git
After compiling the library using make, you will get a static library file libft.a. This file can be linked with your C projects to use the functions you implemented. Here's how to use the library in your own C programs:
- Include the Header File
In your C files, include the libft.h header so that you can use the functions from your library:
#include "libft.h"
