Libft is the first project at 42 Wolfsburg. It is a custom implementation of essential C standard library functions and additional utilities designed to deepen your understanding of C programming fundamentals.

Features

Libft provides a variety of essential programming tasks, including:

• String Manipulation: Functions to measure, modify, and join strings.
• Character Checks: Functions to identify character types (e.g., digits, alphabetic characters).
• Memory Manipulation and Allocation: Functions to copy, set, move, and allocate memory.
• Data Conversion: Functions like ft_atoi and ft_itoa to convert data between formats.

To see the complete list of available functions and their prototypes (return types, names, and arguments), refer to libft.h.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• A C compiler (e.g., gcc or cc).

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/gabrielgaraujo/libft.git
   cd libft

2. Build the library:

   make

3. Include libft.a in your projects by adding it to your linker flags:

   gcc your_program.c -L. -lft -o your_program

Cleaning Up

• Remove object files:

  make clean

• Remove object files and the compiled library:

  make fclean

• Rebuild the library from scratch:

  make re

Usage Example

Here's a simple program using libft:

#include "libft.h"
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    const char *str = "Hello, World!";
    printf("Length: %zu\n", ft_strlen(str));
    return 0;
}

Compile it with:

gcc main.c -L. -lft -o main
./main
