Shell Interpreter

Shell is a utility program with the Linux system that serves as an interface between the user and the kernel and also plays a very important rule as a Command Interpreter and should be able to do the following :

• Reads the command

• Locates the file in the directories containing utilities

• Loads the utility into memory

• Executes the utility as a child of its own

Dependencies

• libreadline6
• libreadline6-dev

Run the shell interpreter

1. sudo apt-get install libreadline6 libreadline6-dev
2. make
3. ./main.o

Requirements

• Accept a Linux command and execute it when the return key is pressed.
• Accept CTRL+C to print “^C” then close the current process executing in the shell.
• Implement the ampersand control operator "&".
• An error message should be printed on entering unsupported command.
• Use the up arrow only on your shell to retrieve the history of the commands​.
• Implement correct TAB completion for file and folder names only.
