Minishell is a simple Unix shell implementation, developed as part of the 42 curriculum. It mimics basic shell functionalities, including executing commands, handling pipes, redirects, and managing environment variables. The project focuses on system calls, process management, and string manipulation in C.
-
✅ Command Execution
- Executes commands entered by the user.
-
✅ Pipes
- Supports piping between commands.
-
✅ Redirections
- Handles input and output redirections (
<,>,>>).
- Handles input and output redirections (
-
✅ Environment Variables
- Supports managing and using environment variables (
$VAR).
- Supports managing and using environment variables (
-
✅ Command History
- Tracks and allows accessing previous commands entered.
- 💻 Language: C
- 🖥️ System Calls:
fork(),exec(),wait(),pipe(),dup2() - 🧑💻 Additional Technologies: String manipulation, Process management
The goal of Minishell is to build a functional Unix shell that mimics the behavior of a real shell, while focusing on system-level programming, process control, and user input handling in C.
