Description

This project is a simple shell implementation in C, where users can enter commands similar to a Unix shell. The shell supports executing internal commands like "cd" as well as external commands available on the system.

Features

• Execution of external commands
• Changing the current working directory using the "cd" command
• Interactive mode and non-interactive mode
• Basic error handling and clean code structure

Getting Started

Compilation

To compile the shell, use the following command:

gcc -Wall -Werror -Wextra -pedantic -std=gnu89 *.c -o myshell

Usage

Interactive Mode

Run the shell in interactive mode by executing the compiled binary:

./myshell

The shell will prompt with ($), and you can enter commands to execute.

Non-Interactive Mode

You can also use the shell in non-interactive mode by providing commands via input redirection:

echo "/bin/ls" | ./myshell

Example

($) /bin/ls
file1.txt file2.txt
($) cd ..
($) exit
