CLIMaster - Terminal Simulation OS

CLIMaster is a terminal-based simulation project that mimics an operating system environment using C programming language. The project focuses on file system management, directory navigation, and file manipulation commands like mkdir, ls, cd, createfile, cat, and more. It provides a basic terminal interface for users to interact with files and directories, making it a great learning tool for understanding file systems and OS concepts.

Features

• File System Simulation: Create and manage files within directories.
• Directory Navigation: Navigate through directories using cd and list contents with ls.
• File Operations: Create, display, write, and delete files using createfile, cat, echo, and remove.
• Built-in Help: View available commands with the help command.

Commands

Below are the commands supported by CLIMaster:

1. ls: Lists the files and directories in the current directory.
2. mkdir <dir_name>: Creates a new directory.
3. cd <dir_name>: Changes the current directory to the specified one.
4. createfile <file_name>: Creates a new empty file.
5. cat <file_name>: Displays the content of a file.
6. echo <file_name>: Appends text to an existing file.
7. remove <file_name>: Removes a file.
8. help: Displays the list of available commands.
9. exit: Exits the terminal simulation.

Installation

To get started with CLIMaster:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/CLIMaster.git

2. Navigate into the project directory:

   cd CLIMaster

3. Compile the project using GCC:

   gcc -o climaster main.c

4. Run the program:

   ./climaster

Usage

Once the program is running, you will be prompted with a terminal interface where you can use the commands listed above to interact with the simulated file system.

Example

root$ ls
Files:
- about.txt
- projects.txt
Directories:
- projects
- files

root$ mkdir mydir
Directory 'mydir' created.

root$ cd mydir
Moved up to 'root'.

root$ ls
Files:
Directories:
- mydir
