get_next_line

📚 Project Overview

get_next_line is a 42 school project where the goal is to create a function that reads a file descriptor line by line, returning one line each time it’s called — just like reading a file with fgets(), but with custom memory management and buffer handling.

🔧 Function Prototype

char *get_next_line(int fd);

• Returns the next line from a file descriptor
• Includes the \n if present
• Returns NULL on EOF or error
• Bonus for multiple file descriptors included

✅ Requirements

• No memory leaks
• One line per call
• Handle multiple file descriptors (bonus)
• Norm compliant

🧪 Compilation Example

cc -Wall -Wextra -Werror get_next_line.c get_next_line_utils.c main.c
