The aim of this project is to make you code a function that returns a line, read from a file descriptor.
For detailed information, refer to the subject of this project.
🚀 TLDR: This task is crucial to understand for a future programmer, since much of the
time is based on manipulating files for data management and persistence.
This project consists of coding a function that returns one line at a time
from a text file.
Note
Because of 42 School norm requirements:
- Each function can't have more than 25 lines of code.
- All variables are declared and aligned at the top of each function.
- Project should be created just with allowed functions otherwise it's cheating.
The function is written in C language and thus needs the gcc compiler and some standard C libraries to run.
1. Using it in your code
To use the function in your code, simply include its header:
#include "get_next_line.h"and, when compiling your code, add the source files and the required flag:
get_next_line.c get_next_line_utils.c -D BUFFER_SIZE=<size>
