A recode of the getline() function in C
This is a school project
The goal of this project was to recode the getline function, but with some limitations:
- Up to five functions of 20 lines or less were alowed
- The READ_SIZE had to be variable (defined in the header file)
- The only authorized functions were: read, malloc and free
- A static variable was alowed
- It had to be fast
For testing purposes, a main.c file is in the project's repository.
First you need to compile the source files:
gcc main.c get_next_line.c
Then you can execute the a.out binary by giving it a text file as argument:
./a.out file.txt
It will may print ,on the standard output, the file's content line by line until there is nothing left to read.
You can easily change READ_SIZE by going into the header file get_next_line.h and changing it's value.
