get_next_line 📚💻

Description 📝

The goal was to create a function called get_next_line that returns a line read from the file descriptor (fd).

Details 📋:

• The get_next_line function should allow reading a text file pointed to by the file descriptor, one line at a time.
• It should return the line that was read.
• If there is nothing else to read or an error occurs, the function should return NULL.
• The returned line should include the terminating \n character, except when the end of the file is reached and does not end with a \n character.
• Work correctly when reading from both files and standard input.

Understanding static variables was a good starting point. Global variables are not allowed.

Bonus Part 💯

Here are the additional requirements:

• Implement the get_next_line function using only one static variable.
• The get_next_line function should be able to manage multiple file descriptors simultaneously.

Installation and Usage

1. Clone the repository or download the source code files.
2. Create a .txt file and write something in there, preferably with a lot of new lines.
3. Compile the program using the provided main. Comment out a variation you'd like to try.

gcc -Wall -Wextra -Werror main.c

Have fun!
