Minishell is a project developed by students at 42 school, which aims to create a simple shell program similar to the Unix command-line interpreter (shell). The project focuses on implementing various features and functionalities commonly found in a shell, such as executing commands, managing processes, handling signals, and implementing built-in shell commands.
-
Command execution: Minishell allows users to execute commands by typing them into the shell prompt. It supports executing both built-in shell commands and external commands available in the system.
-
Environment variables: Users can set and manipulate environment variables within the shell. Minishell provides functionality to manage and use environment variables effectively.
-
Redirection and piping: Minishell supports input/output redirection and command piping, allowing users to redirect input or output from/to files and chain multiple commands together.
-
Signal handling: The shell handles various signals, such as SIGINT (interrupt signal) and SIGQUIT (quit signal), providing a smooth user experience.
-
Error handling: Minishell provides informative error messages and handles errors gracefully to ensure a robust and user-friendly shell experience.
