Development repo for 42cursus' get_next_line project
For further information about 42cursus and its projects, please refer to 42cursus repo.
The aim of this project is to make you code a function that returns a line ending with a newline, read from a file descriptor.
For detailed information, refer to the subject of this project.
🚀 TLDR: this project consists of coding a function that returns one line at a time from a text file.
Functions in get_next_line.c
ft_check_rem - copy read excess (string after \n) to static variable (buffer).
ft_back - copy read line from buffer.
get_next_line - main function.
Functions in get_next_line_utils.c
ft_strdup - save a copy of a string (with malloc).
ft_strjoin - concatenate two strings into a new string (with malloc).
ft_strcpy - copy strings.
ft_strchr - locate character in string (first occurrence).
The function is written in C language and thus needs the gcc compiler and some standard C libraries to run.
To use the function in your code, simply include its header:
#include "get_next_line.h"
and, when compiling your code, add the source files and the required flag:
get_next_line.c get_next_line_utils.c -D BUFFER_SIZE=<size>
If you're on Linux, you may as well need the following flags:
-D ARG_MAX="sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX)" -D OPEN_MAX=1024
