# get_next_line

**get_next_line** is a versatile C function designed for efficient and dynamic line reading from file descriptors. This implementation is part of the 42 school curriculum and serves as a crucial component for handling file input in C programs. Master the art of reading lines, dynamically allocating memory, and enhancing your file processing capabilities with `get_next_line`.

## Getting Started

### Installation

1. **Clone the Repository**
```sh
git clone https://github.com/haytham-hammioui/42_Get_next_line_1337.git GNL
```

2. Include the `get_next_line.h` or `get_next_line_bonus.h` files in your project.

### Usage

To use `get_next_line` in your C projects:

1. Compile your project with `get_next_line.c` and `get_next_line_bonus.c`:

```bash
gcc -Wall -Wextra -Werror -D BUFFER_SIZE=your_buffer_size your_source_files.c get_next_line.c get_next_line_utils.c -o your_executable
```

Replace `your_buffer_size` with the desired buffer size (e.g., 32, 64).

4. Use `get_next_line` in your code:

```c
#include "get_next_line.h"

int main(void) {
int fd;
char *line;

// Open your file descriptor (fd) here
fd = open("PATH_TO_FILE", O_RDWR);
line = get_next_line(fd);

printf("%s\n", line);
free(line);

// Close your file descriptor (fd) here
close(fd);

return 0;
}
```

Make sure to handle errors appropriately and free allocated memory when done.
