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> 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
