Linux Shell Using C

A lightweight, Unix-like command-line shell implemented in C. This project demonstrates core systems programming concepts, including process management, signal handling, and file I/O.

🚀 Features

  • Command Execution: Executes standard system commands by forking child processes.
  • Built-in Commands: Supports custom implementations of essential commands like ('cd' , 'ls' , 'echo' , 'exit' , and other)
  • Process Management: Handles basic process lifecycle management.
  • Signal Handling: Configured to handle signals (like Ctrl+C) to prevent accidental termination of the shell.

🛠 Prerequisites

To compile and run this project, you will need:

  • A C compiler (e.g., gcc)
  • make (optional, for the Makefile)
  • A Linux/Unix-based environment

📥 Installation

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone [https://github.com/hellboy-zero/linux_shell_using_c.git]
cd linux_shell_using_c

  2. Compile the source code: If you have a Makefile, simply run:

    make

💻 Usage

After compiling, start the shell by running the executable:

./shell
