mmbatha / C_Get_Next_Line

Whether it's a file, standard input, or even a unix socket, one still needs to read content line by line. It is therefore time to present this function, which was essential for a number of my later projects.

Get_Next_Line

Whether it's a file, standard input, or even a unix socket, one still needs to read content line by line. It is therefore time to present this function, which was essential for a number of my later projects.

Getting started

Get some file to test the function

git clone https://github.com/mmbatha/GNL-1.git

Copy files from GNL-1 to the get_next_line (GNL) folder then go into the GNL folder

mkdir GNL/test

cp GNL-1/bible.txt GNL/test

cp GNL-1/gnl* GNL/test

cp GNL-1/test_* GNL/test

cd GNL

Run shell scripts that compile the necessary custom C library functions and create a program with which to run get_next_line with various files

sh gnl_intra_test.sh

Run the program created with different text files copied earlier

./test_gnl bible.txt

./test_gnl test_eminem.txt

Test for leaks

sh gnl_leaks.sh
