Simple SHELL


Your shell should work like this in interactive mode:

$ ./hsh
($) /bin/ls
hsh main.c shell.c
($)
($) exit
$

But also in non-interactive mode:

$ echo "/bin/ls" | ./hsh
hsh main.c shell.c test_ls_2
$
$ cat test_ls_2
/bin/ls
/bin/ls
$
$ cat test_ls_2 | ./hsh
hsh main.c shell.c test_ls_2
hsh main.c shell.c test_ls_2
$

Our SHELL should:

->Display a prompt and wait for the user to type a command. A command line always ends with a new line.
->The prompt is displayed again each time a command has been executed.
->The command lines are simple, no semicolons, no pipes, no redirections or any other advanced features.
->The command lines are made only of one word. No arguments will be passed to programs.
->If an executable cannot be found, print an error message and display the prompt again. Handle errors.
->Handles the “end of file” condition (Ctrl+D)
