AUTHOR: JOSECK DAVID

tseps involved in creating a simple shell:

  • Write a script file with a .sh extension and use the stdio.h library for input and output functions.
  • Give executable permission to the file using chmod +x command in the terminal.
  • Parse the user input by using strsep function to nbrake into words and strings, and check for special characters like pipes, redirections....
  • User if the user input is a built-in command, such as cd, exit help... if so, execute it using the appropriate functions, such aschdir exit, printf, ...
  • If the user input is not a built-in command, execute it as a system command by forking a child process and calling execvp function, which searches for the command in the system path and executes it with the given arguments.
