Simple Shell :V

Description

Shell is a program that takes commands from the standard input(keyboard) and gives them to the operating system to execute. This repository contains a small versión of a Shell.

Usage

You need to compile all the c files:

gcc *c -o hsh
./hsh

hsh can work in interactive mode:

$ ./hsh
>:v ls
README.md   clfun.c	 getargs.c	 getvar.c	 look.c~
_realloc.c  cpyenv.c	   getenv.xc	   help_documents  malloc.c
actenv.xc   environ	      getline.c	      holberton.h     man_1_simple_shell
add_node.c  funcbuilt.c  getline_main.c  hsh			 prompt.c
back.xc     funexe.c	   getrealenv.c	   look.c				 signal.c

But also hsh can work in non-interactive mode:

echo "/bin/ls" | ./hsh
README.md   clfun.c	 getargs.c	 getvar.c	 look.c~
_realloc.c  cpyenv.c	   getenv.xc	   help_documents  malloc.c
actenv.xc   environ	      getline.c	      holberton.h     man_1_simple_shell
add_node.c  funcbuilt.c  getline_main.c  hsh			 prompt.c
back.xc     funexe.c	   getrealenv.c	   look.c				 signal.c

Execution

To invoke the simple_shell, you need to write the next command:

./hsh
>:v

After you run this command you will see the prompt: >:v. After that propmt you can put the command (extern or builtin), example:

./hsh
>:v ls
README.md   add_node.c	cd_functions.c	 environ	       funexe.c   getline_main.c  h_cd.txt    h_history.txt   holberton.h  malloc.c        test
_realloc.c  alias	clfun.c		 		        	  		          errores_env.c	      		            getargs.c  getrealenv.c      h_env.txt   h_setenv.txt    hsh    man_1_simple_shell  tonya.out alias.c commandfilter.c  errores_otrosbuilt.c  getenv.xc  getvar.c     h_exit.txt  h_unsetenv.txt  itoa.c      prompt.c
actenv.xc   back.xc	cpyenv.c								    funcbuilt.c				                  getline.c  h_alias.txt          h_help.txt  help_documents  look.c		         signal.c
>:v

Command Execution

Exit status

hsh returns Zero for success and differnt Zero for failure

Signals

hsh ignores the Ctrl + C input, you can use Ctrl + d to exit the program.

./hsh
>:v ^C
>:v ^C
>:v ^C
>:V

$?

? is relplaced with return value of the las program executed

Example:

>:v echo $?
>:v 0

$$

In this case the second $ is replaced by the current process ID

Example:

>:v echo $$
>:v 6494

$$

hsh ignores all words and characters preceeded by a # character on a line

>:v echo $$
>:v 13245

operators

hsh can handle ; Command separator. Commands that are separeted with ; areexecuted sequentially.

>:v echo "hello" ; echo "world"
"hello"
"world"

You can usea ; separator with spaces or tabs or nothing between the command and the separator.

cd

• Use cd to change current directory, if no argument is given, the command is interpeted as a cd $HOME.
• if the argument - is given, the command is interpreted as cd $OLDPATH

>:v ls
