Unix Shell
In this project, you’ll build a simple Unix shell. The shell is the heart of the command-line interface, and thus is central to the Unix/C programming environment. Mastering use of the shell is necessary to become proficient in this world; knowing how the shell itself is built is the focus of this project.
There are three specific objectives to this assignment:
To further familiarize yourself with the Linux programming environment.
To learn how processes are created, destroyed, and managed.
To gain exposure to the necessary functionality in shells.
Overview
In this assignment, you will implement a
command line interpreter (CLI)
or, as it is more commonly known, a
shell
. The shell should operate in this basic way: when you type in a command (in response to its prompt), the shell creates a child process that executes the command you entered and then prompts for more user input when it has finished.
The shells you implement will be similar to, but simpler than, the one you run every day in Unix. If you don’t know what shell you are running, it’s probably
bash
. One thing you should do on your own time is learn more about your shell, by reading the man pages or other online materials.
Program Specifications
Basic Shell:
wish
Your basic shell, called
wish
(short for Wisconsin Shell, naturally), is basically an interactive loop: it repeatedly prints a prompt
wish>
(note the space after the greater-than sign), parses the input, executes the command specified on that line of input, and waits for the command to finish. This is repeated until the user types
exit
. The name of your final executable should be
wish
.
The shell can be invoked with either no arguments or a single argument; anything else is an error. Here is the no-argument way:
prompt> ./wish wish>
At this point,
wish
is running, and ready to accept commands. Type away!
The mode above is called
interactive
mode, and allows the user to type commands directly. The shell also supports a
batch mode
, which instead reads input from a batch file and executes commands from therein. Here is how you run the shell with a batch file named
batch.txt
:
prompt> ./wish batch.txt
One difference between batch and interactive modes: in interactive mode, a prompt is printed (
wish>
). In batch mode, no prompt should be printed.
You should structure your shell such that it creates a process for each new command (the exception are
built-in commands
, discussed below). Your basic shell should be able to parse a command and run the program corresponding to the command. For example, if the user types
ls -la /tmp
, your shell should run the program
/bin/ls
with the given arguments
-la
and
/tmp
(how does the shell know to run
/bin/ls
? It’s something called the shell path; more on this below).
Structure
Basic Shell
The shell is very simple (conceptually): it runs in a while loop, repeatedly asking for input to tell it what command to execute. It then executes that command. The loop continues indefinitely, until the user types the built-in command
exit
, at which point it exits. That’s it!
For reading lines of input, you should use
getline()
. This allows you to obtain arbitrarily long input lines with ease. Generally, the shell will be run in
interactive mode
, where the user types a command (one at a time) and the shell acts on it. However, your shell will also support
batch mode
, in which the shell is given an input file of commands; in this case, the shell should not read user input (from
stdin
) but rather from this file to get the commands to execute.
In either mode, if you hit the end-of-file marker (EOF), you should call
exit(0)
and exit gracefully.
To parse the input line into constituent pieces, you might want to use
strsep()
. Read the man page (carefully) for more details.
To execute commands, look into
fork()
,
exec()
, and
wait()/waitpid()
. See the man pages for these functions, and also read the relevant book chapter for a brief overview.
You will note that there are a variety of commands in the
exec
family; for this project, you must use
execv
. You should notuse the
system()
library function call to run a command. Remember that if
execv()
is successful, it will not return; if it does return, there was an error (e.g., the command does not exist). The most challenging part is getting the arguments correctly specified.
Paths
In our example above, the user typed
ls
but the shell knew to execute the program
/bin/ls
. How does your shell know this?
It turns out that the user must specify a path variable to describe the set of directories to search for executables; the set of directories that comprise the path are sometimes called the
search path
of the shell. The path variable contains the list of all directories to search, in order, when the user types a command.
Important: Note that the shell itself does not
implement
ls
or other commands (except built-ins). All it does is find those executables in one of the directories specified by
path
and create a new process to run them.
To check if a particular file exists in a directory and is executable, consider the
access()
system call. For example, when the user types
ls
, and path is set to include both
/bin
and
/usr/bin
, try
access(“/bin/ls”, X_OK)
. If that fails, try “/usr/bin/ls”. If that fails too, it is an error.
Your initial shell path should contain one directory: `/bin’
Note: Most shells allow you to specify a binary specifically without using a search path, using either absolute paths or relative paths. For example, a user could type the absolute path
/bin/ls
and execute the
ls
binary without a search path being needed. A user could also specify a relative path which starts with the current working directory and specifies the executable directly, e.g.,
./main
. In this project, you do not have to worry about these features.
Built-in Commands
Whenever your shell accepts a command, it should check whether the command is a built-in command or not. If it is, it should not be executed like other programs. Instead, your shell will invoke your implementation of the built-in command. For example, to implement the
exit
built-in command, you simply call
exit(0);
in your wish source code, which then will exit the shell.
In this project, you should implement
exit
,
cd
, and
path
as built-in commands.
exit
: When the user types
exit
, your shell should simply call the
exit
system call with 0 as a parameter. It is an error to pass any arguments to
exit
.
cd
:
cd
always take one argument (0 or >1 args should be signaled as an error). To change directories, use the
chdir()
system call with the argument supplied by the user; if
chdir
fails, that is also an error.
path
: The
path
command takes 0 or more arguments, with each argument separated by whitespace from the others. A typical usage would be like this:
wish> path /bin /usr/bin
, which would add
/bin
and
/usr/bin
to the search path of the shell. If the user sets path to be empty, then the shell should not be able to run any programs (except built-in commands). The
path
command always overwrites the old path with the newly specified path.
Redirection
Many times, a shell user prefers to send the output of a program to a file rather than to the screen. Usually, a shell provides this nice feature with the
>
character. Formally this is named as redirection of standard output. To make your shell users happy, your shell should also include this feature, but with a slight twist (explained below).
For example, if a user types
ls -la /tmp > output
, nothing should be printed on the screen. Instead, the standard output of the
ls
program should be rerouted to the file
output
. In addition, the standard error output of the program should be rerouted to the file
output
(the twist is that this is a little different than standard redirection).
If the
output
file exists before you run your program, you should simple overwrite it (after truncating it).
The exact format of redirection is a command (and possibly some arguments) followed by the redirection symbol followed by a filename. Multiple redirection operators or multiple files to the right of the redirection sign are errors.
Note: don’t worry about redirection for built-in commands (e.g., we will not test what happens when you type
path /bin > file
).
Parallel Commands
Your shell will also allow the user to launch parallel commands. This is accomplished with the ampersand operator as follows:
wish> cmd1 & cmd2 args1 args2 & cmd3 args1
In this case, instead of running
cmd1
and then waiting for it to finish, your shell should run
cmd1
,
cmd2
, and
cmd3
(each with whatever arguments the user has passed to it) in parallel,
before
waiting for any of them to complete.
Then, after starting all such processes, you must make sure to use
wait()
(or
waitpid
) to wait for them to complete. After all processes are done, return control to the user as usual (or, if in batch mode, move on to the next line).
Program Errors
The one and only error message. You should print this one and only error message whenever you encounter an error of any type:
char error_message[30] = “An error has occurredn”; write(STDERR_FILENO, error_message, strlen(error_message));
The error message should be printed to stderr (standard error), as shown above.
After
any
most errors, your shell simply
continue processing
after printing the one and only error message. However, if the shell is invoked with more than one file, or if the shell is passed a bad batch file, it should exit by calling
exit(1)
.
There is a difference between errors that your shell catches and those that the program catches. Your shell should catch all the syntax errors specified in this project page. If the syntax of the command looks perfect, you simply run the specified program. If there are any program-related errors (e.g., invalid arguments to
ls
when you run it, for example), the shell does not have to worry about that (rather, the program will print its own error messages and exit).
Miscellaneous Hints
Remember to get the basic functionality of your shell working before worrying about all of the error conditions and end cases. For example, first get a single command running (probably first a command with no arguments, such as
ls
).
Next, add built-in commands. Then, try working on redirection. Finally, think about parallel commands. Each of these requires a little more effort on parsing, but each should not be too hard to implement.
At some point, you should make sure your code is robust to white space of various kinds, including spaces () and tabs (
t
). In general, the user should be able to put variable amounts of white space before and after commands, arguments, and various operators; however, the operators (redirection and parallel commands) do not require whitespace.
Check the return codes of all system calls from the very beginning of your work. This will often catch errors in how you are invoking these new system calls. It’s also just good programming sense.
Beat up your own code! You are the best (and in this case, the only) tester of this code. Throw lots of different inputs at it and make sure the shell behaves well. Good code comes through testing; you must run many different tests to make sure things work as desired. Don’t be gentle — other users certainly won’t be.
Finally, keep versions of your code. More advanced programmers will use a source control system such as git. Minimally, when you get a piece of functionality working, make a copy of your .c file (perhaps a subdirectory with a version number, such as v1, v2, etc.). By keeping older, working versions around, you can comfortably work on adding new functionality, safe in the knowledge you can always go back to an older, working version if need be.
