This Simple Shell project is a collaboration between Gerald Juwah and Ahmed A. Olawale. Who are Software Engineers studing as students of ALX school. This project consists of developing and making our own UNIX command interpreter (Shell).
This Simple_shell project can be compiled and launched from the command line, where its main function is to execute commands read from the standard input.
$ gcc -Wall -Werror -Wextra -pedantic *.c -o hsh
./hsh
cd - Change directory
env - List the current enviroment variables
exit - exit the shell
pwd - Print the absolute pathname
Description of the files used:
| Files | Description |

| _cd.c | Function that changes to the directory of the process |
| _ex.c | Function that finds if input is esit, therefore terminates process |
| _fork.c | Function that creates process and executes |
| _getline.c | Function that reads what the user writes |
| _signal.c | Function that handles the SIGINT signal |
| _writerr.c | Function that gets each error |

| shell. h | Header file with all the functions prototypes |
Some of the examples of this shell working process:
cd:
#cisfun$ pwd
/home/vagrant/simple_shell
#cisfun$ cd
#cisfun$ pwd
/home/vagrant
#cisfun$
cd error:
#cisfun$ cd hola
./hsh: 1: cd: can't cd to hola
#cisfun$
exit:
#cisfun$ exit 123
vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:~/simple_shell$ echo $?
123
exit error:
#cisfun$ exit hola
./hsh: 2: exit: Illegal number: hola
#cisfun$
