Pipex

Pipex is a C programming project that emulates the behavior of a UNIX pipeline. It accepts four arguments: two file names and two shell commands, and executes them in a pipeline manner.

Getting Started

To get a local copy up and running, follow these simple steps.

Prerequisites

• GCC compiler
• Make

Installation

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/your_username_/pipex.git
   

2. Compile the project

   make
   

Usage

Run the program with the following command:

./pipex infile "command1" "command2" outfile

This will execute the commands as if you were running:

< infile command1 | command2 > outfile

in a UNIX shell.

Project Structure

The project has the following structure:

• src/pipex.c: Main file of the application. It contains the main function which accepts command line arguments and uses them to execute the pipex program.
• src/utils.c: Contains utility functions used in pipex.c.
• src/utils.h: Header file for utils.c.
• Makefile: Used to compile the project.
• libft/ft_strlen.c, libft/ft_strdup.c, libft/ft_strjoin.c, libft/ft_split.c: Part of the libft library. They contain implementations of some standard C library functions.
• libft/libft.h: Header file for the libft library.
