Answer:
#define LSH_RL_BUFSIZE 1024
char *lsh_read_line(void)
{
int bufsize = LSH_RL_BUFSIZE;
int position = 0;
char buffer = malloc(sizeof(char) bufsize);
int c;
if (!buffer) {
fprintf(stderr, "lsh: allocation error\n");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
while (1) {
// Read a character
c = getchar();
// If we hit EOF, replace it with a null character and return.
if (c == EOF || c == '\n') {
buffer[position] = '\0';
return buffer;
} else {
buffer[position] = c;
}
position++;
// If we have exceeded the buffer, reallocate.
if (position >= bufsize) {
bufsize += LSH_RL_BUFSIZE;
buffer = realloc(buffer, bufsize);
if (!buffer) {
fprintf(stderr, "lsh: allocation error\n");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
}
}
}
