## Usage:

### Compiling:

for this program to compile you need the following C libraries on your system:
- ncurses
    - Linux: usually preinstalled - otherwise installation depends on distro
    - Mac
        > brew install ncurses
    - Windows: 
        - This may be more difficult to setup and requires additional research
    
compiling with GCC:
    > gcc main.c editor.c dynstr.c -lncurses -o <binary-name>

### Running:
```bash
./<binary-name> open <$file>  # opens the specified file in the editor
./<binary-name> new  <$file>  # creates a new file with <filename> as the name
./<binary-name> del  <$file>  # deletes the specified file
./<binary-name> copy <$file> <$newpath> # copies $file to the location $newpath
./<binary-name> move <$file> <$newpath> # moves $file to the location $newpath
./<binary-name> len  <$file>  # prints the length of $file
./<binary-name> log  <$file>  # prints the change history of $file
```
