Libft

Description

This project aims to code a C library regrouping usual functions that will be used for all next projects. Later projects are included to the library. Ex: ft_printf.

Functions

Some functions present the same prototype and behaviors as the originals. Others are either not included in the libc, or included in a different form.

Libc Functions

Re-code of a set of the libc functions, as defined in their man.

Function	Description
`ft_isalpha`	alphabetic character check
`ft_isdigit`	digit character check
`ft_isalnum`	alphanumeric character check
`ft_isascii`	ASCII character check
`ft_isprint`	printable character check
`ft_strlen`	calculate the length of a string
`ft_memset`	fill memory with a constant byte
`ft_bzero`	zero a byte string
`ft_memcpy`	copies n bytes from src to dst
`ft_memmove`	copies n bytes from src to dst
`ft_strlcpy`	size-bounded string copying
`ft_strlcat`	size-bounded string concatenation
`ft_toupper`	convert character to uppercase
`ft_tolower`	convert character to lowercase
`ft_strchr`	locate character in string
`ft_strrchr`	locate character in string backwards
`ft_strncmp`	compare two strings
`ft_memchr`	scan memory for a character
`ft_memcmp`	compare memory areas
`ft_strnstr`	locate a substring in a string
`ft_atoi`	convert a string to an integer

Aditional Functions

Function	Description
`ft_calloc`	allocate dynamic memory
`ft_strdup`	duplicate a string
`ft_substr`	return a substring from a string
`ft_strjoin`	string concatenation
`ft_strtrim`	copy string trimming selected characters
`ft_split`	split string with character as delimiter
`ft_itoa`	return a string representing an integer
`ft_strmapi`	apllies the provided function to each character
`ft_striteri`	applies the provided function to each character passed by reference
`ft_putchar_fd`	outputs character to fd
`ft_putstr_fd`	outputs string to fd
`ft_putendl_fd`	outputs string to fd followed by a new line
`ft_putnbr_fd`	outputs integer to fd

Bonus Functions

The bonus functions are made to manage a list defined by the following struct:

typedef struct	s_list
{
	void		*content;	/* the data contained in the element */
	struct s_list 	*next;		/* the next element’s address || NULL if last element */
}	t_list;

Function	Description
`ft_lstnew`	create a new element
`ft_lstadd_front`	adds the element at the beginning of the list
`ft_lstadd_back`	adds the element at the end of the list
`ft_lstsize`	counts the number of elements in a list
`ft_lstlast`	returns the last element of the list
`ft_lstdelone`	deletes the content and free the element
`ft_lstclear`	deletes and free every element and its successors
`ft_lstiter`	iterates the list applying the provided function
`ft_lstmap`	iterates the list applying the provided function and return a list of affected elements

Project Functions

The following functions have been added to the library as result of later projects.

Function	Description
`get_next_line`	Returns a line, read from a file descriptor
`ft_printf`	Re-code of printf

Usage

To compile the library, either run:

$ make

or if the ft_printf is allowed in the project:

$ make printf

Then, include its header in the code:

#include "libft.h"

or, with ft_printf allowed, you can add:

#include "ft_printf.h"

Lastly, add the following flags when compiling the project:

-L./libft_dir -I./libft_dir/includes -lft
