You answers will be in the form of a PDF/C Code.
One of the operations the shell performs is to parse a string into tokens. When you run your program with ./a.out argc will have the value of 1, and argv[0] will have the value of ./a.out. Understanding how to tokenize a string is an important concept. For this question you will emulate the parsing the shell does. You will need to complete several functions.
Write a function that will parse a string into tokens (or words), similar to what the shell is required to do. The function is named makeargs.
The prototype is given as: int makeargs(char * s, char*** argv);
This function should accept a (c-type) string and a pointer to a two dimensional array representing the tokenized string. The function will return a 2D array of characters. Tokens are delimitated via whitespace ‘\t’, ‘\n’, ‘ ‘. The function will return an int representing the number of tokens in the string. Each row in the 2D array will be a separate token. The 2D array will contain one extra row that contains a null pointer. If a problem occurred during operation of the function, then return -1.
For example, given the following C code
int main()
{
char **argv, s[] = "ls -l file";
int argc;
argc = makeargs(s, &argv);
printargs(argc, argv);
}// end main
The results of makeargs would be:
argc would be 3.
argv[0] would be 'ls'
argv[1] would be '-l'
argv[2] would be file
argv[3] would be ‘\0’
You must not waste memory, and any memory you allocate you must clean up.
I have provided as a starting point cscd340Lab5.c
NOTE: The strings will be entered on the command line separated by a single space. You can
presume the happy part of Stuland. HINT: You may need strtok and other string commands.
DO NOT use realloc, use only free and malloc/calloc
FOR EXAMPLE
The user might enter: how now brown cow
And your program would report 4 strings and then print each string.
This will continue until the user types exit.
NOTES
I have provided stubbed out code that you must use – You WILL NOT change my main or the file cscd340Lab5.c
You must use strtok_r from string.h.
For ease I have provided myUtils.h an myUtils.c – You may not change these files in any fashion and you must use them.
You must use my Makefile – there should be no reason to modify it.
Your output capture should have multiple outputs showing you truly tested your program, including your valgrind runs. These runs are stored in your PDF named lab5output.pdf
