Read a text file line by line.

The goal of this project is to create the function get_next_line.c which, when called in a loop, will then allow the available text in the file descriptor to be read one line at a time until the end of the file. The program must compile with the flag-D BUFFER_SIZE=xx which will be used as the buffer size for the read calls in get_next_line.

get_next_line made easy

42cursus -> get_next_line.

get_next_line is a 42 school project meant to teach us how to read from a file descriptor and use static variables.

Get the next line of a file

This project is about programming a function that returns a line read from a file descriptor.

Reading a line on a fd is way too tedious.

This project will not only allow you to add a very convenient function to your collection, but it will also make you learn a highly interesting new concept in C programming: static variables.

Get Next Line is a C function that returns a line, read from a file descriptor. In short, it can read any valid file and does that line by line to optimize memory, since the file size is not known. It's an extremely useful function that can be used in the next school's projects.

function to read from any file descriptor line by line

The get-next-line function is a custom implementation of the C standard library function getline. It allows you to read and parse a text file line by line, regardless of the line length. This is useful when working with large files or when you need to process a file line by line.
