• It was compiled on Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS.

FEATURES

• Displays a prompt and interpretes user commands.
• Executes user command entered using the full directory path, e.g /bin/ls.
• Handles command lines with arguments.
• Handles the PATH of executeables, e.g ls using the PATH environmental variable.
• Handles the EOF (ctrl-D) and exit built-in that exits the shell.
