Introduction to get_next_line

Get Next Line is an individual project at 1337 #42network that requires us to create a function similar to the getline from CPP and fgets from C. This function allows a file to be read line after line if called in a loop.

Prototype

char *get_next_line(int fd);

Description

The aim of this project is to make you code a function that returns a line ending with a newline, read from a file descriptor.

External functs

read, malloc, free.
