A simplified shell that offers a foundational command-line experience.
- User-Friendly Prompt: Displays a clear prompt and patiently awaits user input.
- One-Line Commands: Accepts straightforward commands, each ending with a newline. No semicolons, pipes, redirections, or other intricate features are necessary.
- Single-Line Execution: Processes commands exclusively within a single line, without passing arguments to programs.
- Error Handling: Gracefully manages scenarios where executables are not found, printing informative error messages and returning the prompt.
- End-of-File Mastery: Seamlessly handles "End of file" conditions (Ctrl+D).
- PATH Independence: Operates without reliance on the PATH environment variable.
- No Built-Ins: Does not implement built-in commands.
- Special Character Avoidance: Refrains from handling special characters such as ", ', `, , *, &, and #.
- Cursor Stationarity: Maintains a steady cursor position.
- Argument-Free Operation: Executes commands without the complexity of arguments.
To use the Basic Shell, simply type in a command and press Enter. The command line will always end with a newline. For example, to run the ls command, you would type the following:
The Basic Shell will then display a list of files in the current directory.
To exit the Basic Shell, press Ctrl+D.
