Get_next_line

The 42 school's get_next_line project is where we learn to read from a file descriptor, as well as the use of static variables.

This function returns a single line from a given file descriptor. If called in a loop, get_next_line returns the entire contents of a file, line by line until it reaches the end of the file. It can be compiled specifying any buffer size.

Usage

This function is not a stand-alone program, its files must be included and compiled within another project.

Compilation:

cc main.c get_next_line.c get_next_line_utils.c

BUFFER_SIZE can be specified at compilation to override the default BUFFER_SIZE:

cc -D BUFFER_SIZE=42 main.c get_next_line.c get_next_line_utils.c

Execution:

./a.out [file]

Output should show the entire contents of the given file.

Program will wait for input, then once the enter key is pressed, print out the input as well as get_next_line's output. The process can be killed with ``ctrl-c``.
