Get_Next_Line_42 🚀

Let's deal with memory allocation!

💡About

Summary: This project is about programming a function that returns a line read from a file descriptor.

Note: Files suffixed with _bonus are exact copies of corresponding files, except 'get_next_line_bonus.c".

Functions in get_next_line.c

• ft_read - copy read line from buffer to the static variable as much as needed until it finds an \n.
• ft_return_line - returns the string until \n and copy to the variable line_2b_printed.
• ft_keep_rest - copy read excess (string after \n) to the static variable so it won't get lost.
• get_next_line - main function that calls for the read, return_line and keep_rest functions and returns line_2b_printed.

Functions in get_next_line_utils.c

• ft_strlen - find length of string.
• ft_strjoin - concatenate two strings into a new string (with malloc). I added a free function (line 42) to free the first argument.
• ft_strchr - locate character in string (first occurrence).

Extra on get_next_line_bonus.c

• get_next_line() can manage multiple file descriptors at the same time. For example, if you can read from the file descriptors 3, 4 and 5, you should be able to read from a different fd per call without losing the reading thread of each file descriptor or returning a line from another fd.
