Part 1: The Simple Shell
Your shell executable should be named sish. Your shell's source code should be in
sish.c,
The shell should run continuously and display a prompt when waiting for input. The
prompt should be EXACTLY sish>. Note the space after greater than sign. Example with
a command:
sish>1s-1
Your shell should read a line from stdin one at a time. This line should be parsed out
into a command and all its arguments. In other words, tokenize it.
You may assume that the only supported delimiter is the whitespace character
(ASCII character number 32).
You do not need to handle "special" characters. Do not worry about handling
quotation marks, backslashes, and tab characters. This means your shell will be
unable to support arguments with spaces in them. For example, your shell will not
support file paths with spaces in them.
You may set a reasonable maximum on the number of command line arguments,
but your shell should handle input lines of any length.
After parsing the command, your shell should execute it. A command can either be a
reference to an executable OR a built-in shell command (see Part 2). For Part 1, just focus
on running executables, and not on built-in commands.
Executing commands that are not shell built-ins and are just the executable name
(and not a full path to the executable) is done by invoking fork () and then
invoking execvp ().
You may NOT use the system () function, as it just invokes the /bin/sh shell to
do all the work.
