This project taught me how to read from a file descriptor and use static variables. This function retrieves a single line from a specified file descriptor. When called in a loop, get_next_line returns all the contents of the file, one line at a time until the end of the file is reached. Additionally, this function can be compiled with any buffer size specified.

git clone git@github.com:jotavare/get_next_line.git

cd get_next_line/get_next_line

The program should always be compiled with the flags below.

[Flags] -Wall -Wextra -Werror[Mandatory] cc [Flags] main.c get_next_line.c get_next_line_utils.c[Bonus] cc [Flags] main.c get_next_line_bonus.c get_next_line_utils_bonus.c

get_next_line should be able to compile with and without the -D BUFFER_SIZE=[SIZE] flag.

[Flags] -Wall -Wextra -Werror -D BUFFER_SIZE=[SIZE] [Mandatory] cc [Flags] main.c get_next_line.c get_next_line_utils.c[Bonus] cc [Flags] main.c get_next_line_bonus.c get_next_line_utils_bonus.c

./a.out [text.txt]./a.out [text1.txt] [text2.txt]

• Read from one file descriptor, one line at a time.
• Needs to return the line that was read. If empty or error, returnNULL.
• Should work as expected reading from a file or standard input.
• Returned line should include the terminating\n character, except if it's the end of the file and the line does not end with\n.
• Theget_next_line.h header file should include at least theget_next_line() function.
• All adicional functions should be included inget_next_line_utils.c file, libft is not allowed.
• To define the buffer size forread(), add the option to the compiled file-D BUFFER_SIZE=[SIZE].

• Use only one static variable.
• Manage multiple file descriptors at the same time.
• Bonus files should include a suffix_bonus.[c/h].

At 42 School, it is expected that almost every project is written following the Norm, which is the coding standard of the school.

- No for, do...while, switch, case, goto, ternary operators, or variable-length arrays allowed;- Each function must be a maximum of 25 lines, not counting the function's curly brackets;- Each line must be at most 80 columns wide, with comments included;- A function can take 4 named parameters maximum;- No assigns and declarations in the same line (unless static);- You can't declare more than 5 variables per function;- ...
