MGuardia10 / 42cursus_get_next_line

A function that returns a line read from a file descriptor.

42cursus_get_next_line

The get next line project challenges us to make a function capable of returning the next line of a file descriptor passed as a parameter. Each time the function is called, it reads with a buffer size that can be specified when compiling the files using -D BUFFER_SIZE=n. This project is also good for understanding the use of static variables. Once get_next_line() is finished, we can include it in the libft and use it when allowed.

Example Usage

Example usage once our get_next_line function is included in our libft:

#include "libft.h"

int main(void)
{
    int  fd = open("example.txt", O_RDONLY);
    int  lines = 1;
    char *line;

    while ((line = get_next_line(fd)) != NULL)
    {
        printf("%d -> %s\n", lines++, line);
        free(line);
    }
    close(fd);
    return (0);
}

Disclaimer

At 42School, almost every project must be written in accordance to the Norm, the school's coding standard. As a result, the implementation of certain parts may appear strange and for sure had room for improvement.
