🎉 Get_Next_Line

💥 Get Next Line: No more guessing what's read – this function handles it all like a champ! 🚀

---

📖 Overview

Get Next Line is a custom implementation of a function that reads a single line from a file descriptor, including support for files, standard input, and even bonuses like handling multiple file descriptors simultaneously. This project is part of the 1337/42 School curriculum, aiming to enhance your understanding of file I/O and dynamic memory management in C.

🚀 Features

• Efficient Reading: Reads one line at a time from a file or input stream.
• Dynamic Buffering: Handles any file size with a dynamically allocated buffer.
• Multiple File Descriptors: Bonus support for reading from multiple files simultaneously.
• Norminette Compatible: Adheres to the strict coding standards of 1337/42 School.

🛠️ Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Kharbachzoubair/Get_Next_Line.git
   cd Get_Next_Line
   gcc -Wall -Wextra -Werror get_next_line.c get_next_line_utils.c main.c -o gnl
   ./gnl <file>

📚 Usage

1. Include the header file in your program:

   #include "get_next_line.h"

2. Call the get_next_line function in a loop to read lines from a file descriptor:

   int fd = open("file.txt", O_RDONLY);
   char *line;
    
   while ((line = get_next_line(fd)) != NULL)
   {
     printf("%s", line);
     free(line);
   }
   close(fd);

3. For bonus functionality, use the get_next_line_bonus files to handle multiple file descriptors.
