A Unix shell written in C
This project consists of designing a C program to serve as a shell interface that accepts user commands and then executes each command in a separate process. Implementation supports input and output redirection, as well as pipes as a form of IPC between multiple commands. The project is based on the UNIX fork(), exec(), wait(), dup2(), and pipe() system calls for UNIX.
The shell uses the GNU Readline library, so for compiling the program use gcc shell.c -o shell -lreadline, and ./shell for running it.
If the computer doesn't have the library installed, use sudo apt-get install libreadline-dev to install it.
