# Get Next Line

💡 About the project

The goal of this project is to implement a function that reads and returns a single line from a file descriptor. Through this project, you will learn how files are opened, read, and closed at the operating system level, and how these actions are handled in C programming. This is a crucial skill for understanding file manipulation and data persistence.

🛠️ Usage

Requirements

This project is written in C and requires the gcc compiler along with standard C libraries.

Instructions

1. Including in Your Code
   To use the function, include its header in your code:

   #include "get_next_line.h"

   When compiling, add the source files and specify a buffer size:

   gcc get_next_line.c get_next_line_utils.c -D BUFFER_SIZE=<size>

2. Testing
   Uncomment the provided main function in get_next_line.c to test the function. Modify test.txt with your desired input, then compile and run:

   gcc -Wall -Werror -Wextra -D BUFFER_SIZE=xx get_next_line.c get_next_line_utils.c && ./a.out

   Alternatively, use a third-party tester like Tripouille/gnlTester for comprehensive tests.

📋 Testing Features

• The function handles different buffer sizes (BUFFER_SIZE can be set at compile time).
• It correctly manages file descriptors and memory allocations.
• Supports bonus functionality for handling multiple file descriptors simultaneously.
