Simple Shell

This is a simple shell program designed to mimic the basic functionality of the /bin/sh shell.

Description

The Simple Shell project is a command-line interpreter that allows users to interact with their operating system. It provides a simple interface for executing commands, managing processes, and handling input and output redirection.

Features

• Executes commands entered by the user.
• Handles built-in commands such as cd and exit.
• Supports input and output redirection using < and > operators.
• Implements basic error handling and displays informative error messages.

Requirements

• The project is written in C language and follows specific coding standards.
• It uses system calls and standard library functions for file and process management.
• Compilation is done using the GCC compiler with specific flags.

Usage

To compile the shell program, run the following command:

• gcc -Wall -Werror -Wextra -pedantic -std=gnu89 *.c -o hsh

To run the shell, execute the compiled binary:

• ./hsh
