#HW2 Shell Program

TODO - Update your name in this readme.

SANAM SHIKALGAR

TODO - Add a badge from travis CI here

Problem statement:

Implement a simple shell using the C language. Implementation details are mentioned in the individual TODOs inside shell.c. The shell has two main functionalities:

• Runs a program with specified arguments
• Mantains a list of commands in a history list.

A lot of template code has been provided, use it to obtain some programming hints.

Expected input and outputs:

./hw2
shell>ls
file1 file2 file3
shell>
shell>
shell>
shell>ls /
Applications some-otherfolder-in-/ something-else
shell>pwd
/usr/omar/path-to-here
shell>exit

Explanation: Once you start the shell, it will prompt 'shell>' to the user. when the user enters 'ls'. That program is executed by the shell using fork() and execvp(). Shell will ignore empty lines. 'exit' will exit the shell.

Build instructions

Just open the folder/project via CLion.
