42readline

Project Description

This library is used for the 42sh project.

The library adds the readline function, which behaves much like the c standard library's getline function, with a few notable differences.

For instance, the readline handles cursor control (i.e. controlling the terminal cursor with arrow keys) if the given file stream is a tty stream.

Compile Instructions

To compile the standard version of readline, simply run make:

make

To compile a version with debug symbols enabled, use the debug rule:

make debug

This project uses the address sanitizer to ensure no memory leaks are produced. To compile the library with the address sanitizer enabled, please use the sanitize rule:

make sanitize

When you're done, you can use the clean rule to delete any temporary files, or the fclean rule to delete everything but the source code.
