Create a simple UNIX command interpreter in C programming language
The objective of this project is to create from scratch a simple UNIX command interpreter with limited functionality but applying the core concepts of a more robust shell. In simple words, the shell is a program that takes commands from the keyboard and gives them to the operating system to perform. It incorporates many features and generally executes other commands.
- How does a shell work.
- What is a PID and a ppid, and how to use them.
- How to manipulate the environment of the current process.
- What is the difference between a function and a system call.
- How to create processes.
- How does the shell use the
PATHto find the programs. - How to execute another program with the
execvesystem call. - How to suspend the execution of a process until one of its children terminates.
