Prototype

The prototype of our main function is as follows:

int main(int argc __attribute__((unused)), char **argv, char **env);

The header file is called holberton.h where all the function prototypes, structures and libraries used in our shell are referenced.

Quick Start

• git clone this repository to your local machine.

$ git clone https://github.com/sebascastel/simple_shell

• cd into simple_shell/ directory.

$ cd simple_shell/

• Compile the program.

 $ gcc -Wall -Werror -Wextra -pedantic *.c -o hsh

or

$ make 

• Execute the Shell's Bells !

$ ./hsh

Note: Shell's Bells can also be run in non-interactive mode:

$ echo "/bin/ls" | ./hsh

Syntax

This Shell, has a familiar syntax when running commands, as other common Shells:

†Shell's Bells† <command> <flags>

• non-interactive mode:

$ echo "<command>" | ./hsh

Example Usage

interactive mode

• ls command:

†Shell's Bells† ls -1

• pwdcommand:

†Shell's Bells† pwd

• cd command:

†Shell's Bells† cd ..

• help command:

†Shell's Bells† help <builtin command>

• # comments

†Shell's Bells† echo Hello # World
Hello

Builtins

Our Shell supports a variety of builtin commands:

exit - exits the Shell

env - prints the environment variables.

setenv - sets an environment variable.

unsetenv - unsets an environment variable.

cd - changes directory.

help - displays help for builtin commands.

Bonus

welcome - displays a welcome message 😄

bart - shows Bart Simpson 😄
