Project Title: ALX Shell Project by Kesiena and Tomilola
Overview: This project involves the creation of a UNIX command interpreter resembling the functionalities of the simple shell (sh). It encompasses additional functions beyond the basic shell operations. The entire program was developed using the C language and stands as a significant milestone project within the ALX Africa Software Engineering curriculum.
Installation: To integrate this project into your working environment, clone the repository into your directory. For optimal performance, compile the files using GCC along with specific flags: -Wall -Wextra -Werror -pedantic -std=gnu89
How to Use: Once compiled, the resulting program operates autonomously, supporting both interactive and non-interactive modes.
Interactive Mode: In interactive mode, execute the program and await the appearance of the prompt. Subsequently, input commands directly. Terminate the session using either the "exit" command or by pressing ctrl-D.
Non-Interactive Mode: For non-interactive mode, echo the desired command and pipe it into the program using the following syntax:
bash Copy code echo "ls" | ./shell In non-interactive mode, upon executing your desired command(s), the program will exit.
Included Features: The shell incorporates support for several built-in commands, including:
