The goal of this 42 school project is to create a funtion that will read and return a line from a the given file descriptor. A buffer size, which is the size of the read that will be effectuate, is given at compile time. A static variable had to be used to hold the characther that were read beyond the end of the current line.
The bonus part of this project had the following requirement:
- Only one static variable can be used. This didn't require any change to the code due to it already using only one static.
- Multiple file descriptor can be used at the same without having mixed output or losing part of the old line. This was handled by changing my static variable from a char* to char*[OPEN_MAX], which represent the maximum amount of file descriptor that can be open at the same on the machine
To use this function, you need to:
- Clone this repository into your project
- include
"get_next_line.h"or"get_next_line_bonus.h"in your project - Either define
BUFFER_SIZE <value>in your header or include-D BUFFER_SIZE=<value>in your compilation line - Compile your code and add
"get_next_line.c"or"get_next_line_bonus.c"and"get_next_line_utils.c"or"get_next_line_utils_bonus.c"
