# Minishell
A lot of amazing shell stuff
## Dependencies
- libreadline-dev
- libncurses-dev
##EVALS
- [ ] exit code niet perse de laatste command race condition?
- [ ] heredoc quote + variable expansion
## Comments on work
- Checked if path is a directory and send appropriate message
- `executor_absolute_path` => extracted some code into helpers to make it norminette compliant
- `executor_child` => refactored putstr_fd into error_msg | checked if file on path is exectuable to show permission denied where applicable
- `lexer_token_next` => extracted code for norminette
- `parser` => **A LOT** of work in all files for norminette compliancy
- `expander_parse_string` => Fixed so that $HOME/test.txt returns the correct path and file
## Edge Cases
- `cat $PWD/test` should expand,
- `cd -` : `bash: cd: OLDPWD not set`
- `cd ~` : does not expand ?
- ~ does expand in bash but not in any quotes
- `echo a '' b` = "a b" ipv "a b"
## Tester
- [minishell_tester](https://github.com/LucasKuhn/minishell_tester)
- [python tester](https://minishell-test.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html)
## TODO
- CTRL+C on input line results in exit code 130 in bash. -> this is signal global
- `cat | cat | ls` isn't blocking. (processes appear to be active while parent moves on)
- `echo $USER" $PWD` -> match quotes and throw error.
- CB command to change banner
- __Bonus:__ Command tree for &&, ||, *
## Signals
### In interactive mode
- `ctrl - C` redisplay prompt status 130
- `ctrl - D` exit shell
- `ctrl - \`
-- Done
### During process
- `ctrl - C` SIGINT to processs status 130
- `ctrl - D`
- `ctrl - \` SIGQUIT to process core dumped status 131
-- Shows ^C
### During HEREDOC
- `ctrl - C` redisplay prompt status 130
- `ctrl - D` SEND EOF error displayed but still works status:0
- `ctrl - \` nothing
