This is a basic implementation of a shell written in C.
- Can execute basic commands such as
ls,pwd,echo, etc. - Can handle command arguments and flags.
- Can handle multiple commands on one line separated by
;. - Can handle standard input and output redirection using
>and<. - Can handle background processes using
&.
- Compile the code using
gcc shell.c -o shell. - Run the compiled binary using
./shell. - The shell prompt will appear, and you can enter commands as you would in a regular shell.
- Does not handle pipes (
|) or environment variables. - Only supports a limited number of built-in commands.
- Error handling is minimal.
- Add support for pipes and environment variables.
- Improve error handling.
- Add more built-in commands.
