a minimalist bash-like shell

Using the availible GNU C library on linux systems, I made a minimal shell that performs some mundane commands that users execute.

You can run and try the shell by following these steps:

• create the shell executable by running make shell
• execute the executable by running ./shell

Or you can use the shell api in your code:

• include the kfsh.h header file in your code
• add the targets kfsh.c source/gdir.c source/genv.c source/prt.c source/mkf.c source/rmf.c source/ldir.c source/sdir.c source/cdir.c source/pfl.c source/mfl.c source/rfl.c source/finf.c to your gcc command while compiling to a binary

These are the currently supported commands:

Tutorials are really scarce for developing a shell from scratch, however documentation is not ! Here are some resources that streamlined my development process:

• actual source code

• commendable documentation

• source code

• god tier documentation

Features I will be implementing soon:

• Sudo priveledge modifier

• command history

• redirecting output

• pipes

• process related commands

• setting related commands

• git command
