GetNextLineTest

This is a basic program to test your GetNextLine project. You can run this program that uses your get_next_line function to read from the standard input or a text file. Some text files are already provided in the folder tests, but you can add and use your own. You can modify the size of your buffer and run valgrind on this program.

Usage

Git clone this repository at the root of the project repository where all the turned-in files must be located. If your file structure is different, modify their path in the Makefile.

Mandatory part

Run one of the following :

make 
make OPTION=-DBUFFER_SIZE=42

The second command allows you to customize the buffer size.

Ways you can use the program :

• ./gnl : read all lines from the standard input
• ./gnl <n>: read the first n lines from the standard input
• ./gnl file.txt : read all lines from file file.txt
• ./gnl file.txt <n> : read the first n lines from file file.txt

💡 Hint : Read one line from a file that contains more and run valgrind on this test.

Bonus part

Run one of the following :

make bonus
make bonus OPTION=-DBUFFER_SIZE=42

The second command allows you to customize the buffer size.

Ways you can use the program :

• ./gnl : read all lines from the standard input
• ./gnl file.txt : read all lines from file file.txt
• ./gnl file1.txt file2.txt : read from files file1.txt and file2.txt and reading one line from each file at a time alternating the input file. More files can be added.

Example

Improvements to-do list

• The bonus program can read only n lines from files without going through the whole file.
