Pipex

Pipex is a simple program that simulates pipes

---

Improvements

Handle quotes properly

should be no problem adding an extra step to the parsing

Keep using the same file descriptors

This would not make the program run out of fds

---

Bugs

without $PATH commands should return No such file or directory instead of command not found

---

Usage

1. Simply clone or download the repository
2. Run make in the cloned directory
3. Start the program with ./pipex and follow the instructions

Tester

Todo

• add valgrind to tester
• check for -Wall -Werror -Wextra
• find a program that returns 2 with invalid options
• add here_doc with "EOF " in some way
• I expect 1 somewhere should be 127
• ./pipex input "echo "'"hallo"'"" cat output
• ./pipex input "printf h'hal""lo hallo'h" cat output
• ./pipex input "awk '{print$1}' input" cat output
• ./pipex input "awk '{ print$1 }' input" cat output

Usage

1. Download test.sh to your pipex directory
2. Make the file executable chmod +x test.sh
3. Run ./test.sh to start the test
