# Container Project Documentation
## Overview
This container project implements a basic file system structure and a shell interface in C. The project consists of several files:
- `main.c`: Entry point of the program, where the initial folder structure is created, the shell is launched, and resources are freed at the end.
- `folder.h` and `folder.c`: Define the structures for `Folder` and `File`, along with functions for working with folders and files.
- `shell.h` and `shell.c`: Implement a shell that allows users to interact with the file system. The shell supports basic commands like `ls`, `pwd`, `cd`, `cat`, and `history`.
- `mystr.h` and `mystr.c`: Define helper functions for manipulating strings, such as extracting the first and second words from an input string.
## Usage
The program starts in `main.c`, where the initial folder structure is created, and the shell is launched. Users can interact with the file system through the shell, executing various commands.
### Supported Commands
- `ls`: List all files and folders in the current directory.
- `pwd`: Print the current working directory.
- `cd folder_name`: Change the current directory to the specified folder.
- `cat file_name`: Display the content of a specific file.
- `history`: Display the history of entered commands.
### Building and Running
To build the project, compile the source files using a C compiler:
```bash
make
```
### Run the compiled executable
```bash
./container
```
## Example usage
```bash
% ls
usr
% cd usr
/usr % ls
bin
/usr % cd bin
/usr/bin % pwd
/usr/bin
/usr/bin % cat example.txt
This is the content of the example file.
/usr/bin % cd ..
/usr %
```
## Exiting the Shell
### To exit the shell and end the program, enter the command:
```bash
exit
```
## Data Structures
- **Folder:** Represents a folder with information about its name, parent folder, and lists of subfolders and files.
- **File:** Represents a file with information about its name, parent folder, and content.
- **Shell:** Represents the shell interface with information about the current path, user input, command history, prompt, exit status, and command count.
## Helper Functions
- `get_first_word` and `get_second_word`: Functions from `mystr.c` that extract the first and second words from a given input string.
## Command Execution
The `exec_command` function in `shell.c` interprets user input and executes the corresponding command.
## Conclusion
This container project provides a basic implementation of a file system and shell in C. It can be extended and enhanced by adding new features, supporting different file types, and improving the user interface. The README serves as a guide for building, running, and understanding the structure of the project.
