## Description

This repo has our custom shell project, which attempts to replicate some of the
processes of the 'sh' shell or 'bash' shell.

### C language standard functions and system calls utilized

`free`, `fstat`, `getcwd`, `getline`, `kill`, `lstat`, `malloc`,
`open`, `opendir`, `perror`, `read`, `readdir`, `signal`, `stat`,
`strtok`, `wait`, `waitpid`, `wait3`, `wait4`, `write`, `_exit`

## Brief Synopsis

All files in this repository are designed to compile with GNU compiler
collection '`gcc`' in the linux environment from '`Ubuntu 20.04
LTS`'. When compiled, the executable file replicates a 'shell' or command line
interpreter, which is a user interface used for access to an operating system's
services. This shell has a set of custom built-in commands, and also integrates
with other commands located in the system's PATH. Output and functionality from
commands is designed to replicate output from the shell `sh` (dash) and some
bash commands.

## Usage

### compile

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

**Compile with Make**: `make all`

### executing the program

**interactive mode**: `$ ./hsh`

**non-interactive mode**: `$ echo "ls -la" | ./hsh`

### usage of arsine in interactive mode

Here is an example usage of the ls
command with flags. This command lists directory contents.

```
$ ls -la
```
