libft Library

Introduction

This library contains the implementation of several standard library functions, as well as additional ones to handle memory and strings. It provides a consistent way of using these functions across different platforms and systems.

Compilation & Usage

make all    # compile the library
make bonus  # compile the bonus functions
make clean  # remove object files
make fclean # remove object files and the library
make re     # recompile the library

List of Functions

Standard Functions

• ft_strlcat.c: Appends string src to the end of dst.
• ft_strlen.c: Computes the length of the string.
• ft_bzero.c: Writes n zeroed bytes to the string.
• ft_isalnum.c: Checks if the character is alphanumeric.
• ft_isalpha.c: Checks if the character is alphabetic.
• ... (and many more)

Bonus Functions

• ft_lstnew_bonus.c: Creates a new list.
• ft_lstadd_front_bonus.c: Adds the element to the start of the list.
• ft_lstsize_bonus.c: Returns the number of elements in the list.
• ... (and many more)

Implementation Details

The library is implemented in C and can be used in C projects. Below are the details of a few of the functions:

ft_atoi

Converts the initial part of the string to an integer.

int	ft_atoi(const char *str)
{
	...
	return (sign * result);
}

ft_bzero

Sets the first len bytes of the byte string to zero.

void	ft_bzero(void *s, size_t len)
{
	...
}

ft_calloc

Allocates memory for an array of count objects.

void	*ft_calloc(size_t count, size_t size)
{
	...
	return (pointer);
}

... (and many more)

Header File

The library comes with a libft.h header file, which contains the declarations of the functions and data structures.

Notes

This library provides a foundational set of functions and can be expanded as per the requirements of the project. It is optimized for performance and can be easily integrated into other projects.
