#42Exam-rank-04
# microshell
Small shell (terminal) that executes simple commands with support for pipes (`|`) and separators (`;`). Project developed in 42 Luanda to understand the fundamentals of processes, `fork`, `execve`, `pipe` and `chdir`.
---
## 🧠 Objective
Implement a **microshell** capable of:
- Execute commands with multiple arguments
- Support chained commands with `;`
- Support `|` pipes
- Handle the built-in `cd` command
- Manage basic runtime errors and directories
---
## ⚙️ Compilation
```bash
cc -Wall -Wextra -Werror microshell.c -o microshell
```
🧪 Usage
Executing simple commands
bash
Copy
Edit
./microshell ls -l ; echo Hello
Execution with pipes
bash
Copy
Edit
./microshell ls -l | grep microshell
📝 cd command behavior
bash
Copy
Edit
./microshell cd nonexistent_folder
Exit:
vbnet
Copy
Edit
error: cd: cannot change directory to folder_inexistente
❌ Error handling
cd with invalid arguments
commands that do not exist or fail to execute
fork or pipe failures are ignored in a simplified way (according to the project scope)
🔧 Implemented functions
exec_it – Execute commands with execve
cd – Own implementation of the cd command
ft_strlen – Helper function to count the length of strings
main – Handles parsing, fork, pipe, and execution control
