This 42project aims to code a C library regrouping usual functions that we’ll be allowed to use in all our other 42 projects.

42_LIBFT_1337

libft

libft is a comprehensive C library that reimplements several standard C library functions along with a set of additional utilities to assist in C programming projects, especially for those working within constrained environments like the 42 School. This project serves as the cornerstone for many future 42 School projects, emphasizing the importance of a solid foundation in C programming.

Overview

The goal of libft is to create a library of useful functions that will be used throughout your time at 42 School and beyond. This includes functions for string manipulation, memory allocation, character checking and conversion, linked list management, and more.

Key Features

• String Manipulation: Functions like ft_strlen, ft_strdup, ft_strjoin, and others that handle strings.
• Memory Management: Functions such as ft_memset, ft_memcpy, and ft_calloc for managing memory.
• Character Checks and Conversions: Includes functions like ft_isalpha, ft_toupper, and ft_tolower.
• Linked List Management: Utilities for creating and managing linked lists with functions like ft_lstnew, ft_lstadd_front, and ft_lstiter.
• Additional Utilities: A set of miscellaneous functions that can be useful in various contexts, such as converting integers to strings or splitting strings.

Getting Started

Installation

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/haytham-hammioui/42_Libft_1337.git libft

2. Compile the Library Navigate to the libft directory and run make. This will compile the library and produce a libft.a file.

   cd libft
   make

Usage

To use libft in your C projects:

1. Include the libft.h header file in your C source files.

   #include "libft.h"

2. Compile your project along with libft.a. For example:

   gcc -o your_program your_source_files libft.a
