42-get_next_line

Introduction

The get_next_line project involves creating a function that reads a line from a file descriptor,

providing an opportunity to learn about a new concept in C programming: static variables.

The function is designed to return a line ending with a newline character from a file descriptor,

and returns NULL when all lines have been read or an error occurs.

Features

A convenient way to read a line at a time from a file descriptor.

Handles reading from both files and standard input.

Efficient memory management, freeing up all heap allocated memory when necessary.

Ability to manage multiple file descriptors simultaneously (Bonus part).

Installation

git clone https://github.com/Asrasal47/42-get_next_line.git

This will download the necessary files.

Usage

Include the header file (get_next_line.h) in your C project:

#include "get_next_line.h"

When compiling your project, link with the required files:

gcc -Wall -Wextra -Werror -D BUFFER_SIZE=32 get_next_line.c get_next_line_utils.c your_c_file.c -o your_program_name

Replace 32 with the buffer size of your choice and your_c_file.c with the C file you want to compile.
