Get Next Line

The goal of this project is to learn about static variables and improving your memory management skills (allocating and freeing).

Objectives

char	*get_next_line(int fd);

Requirements

• Static Variables

  • Blog about static variables
  • Video about static variables

• Dynamic Memory

  • Blog about malloc
  • Deep dive to malloc blog
  • Malloc video
  • Malloc video 2

• File Descriptors

  • File descriptor Blog
  • File Descriptor Video
  • Advanced File descriptor Resource Video

Algorithm

• get a line

  • start with the content of the previous read data
  • read until new line or EOF
• make the content after new line in the static variable
• return the content from the start until new line

Tips

• be careful when using ft_substr and ft_strjoin (memory leaks).
• you can implement the bonus first and copy it to the mandatory part.
• the static variable declaration :

static char		*backup[OPEN_MAX];
