The command line interpreter

The command line interpreter is simillar to the shell but limited

• It manages the objects of our project
  • Create a new object(ex: a new User or a new place)
  • Retrieve an object from a file, a database etc…
  • Do operations on objects (count, compute stats, etc…)
  • Update attributes of an object
  • Destroy an object

How the command line interpreter works

• The shell works in the interative mode:

$./console.py
(hbnb) help

Documented commands(type help <topic>):
=======================================
EOF help quit

(hbnb)
(hbnb)
(hbnb) quit
$

• And also works in non-interactive mode:(like shell project in C)
• All tests pass in the non - interactive mode

$ echo "help" | ./console.py
(hbnb)

Documented commands (type help <topic>):
========================================
EOF  help  quit
(hbnb) 
$
$ cat test_help
help
$
$ cat test_help | ./console.py
(hbnb)

Documented commands (type help <topic>):
========================================
EOF  help  quit
