A 42 School project to retrieve the next line from a given file descriptor.
Git clone the repository:
https://github.com/TimHopg/42-Get-Next-Line.gitA main.c is included with various tests and edge cases as well as a variety of txt files.
No makefile with this project. The function can be utilised within your own project.
Compile as follows:
cc -Wall -Wextra -Werror -D BUFFER_SIZE=n [files].c
Where n can be a buffer size of your choice. If not BUFFER-SIZE is set, the value in the header file is used.
Initially I utilised linked lists to undertake this project but it's both unnecessary and not an optimal solution. The single allowed static variable is sufficient to store the buffer string and a dynamically allocated string can be used to read from the file. A secondary logic has been adapted in logic2 based on Laher Wenceslau Payot Maciel's work, which is more streamlined but has some limitations when sending invalid file descriptors.
