@ -22,6 +22,96 @@ Later, I can even make something useful out of it. For example, I could make it
* Add a function that gets the path of the history file, rather than copying it every time
* Other tests for the rest of the features
* Add a builtin history command
* Add a test for the treat_history_callback function
* Get some sleep
* Order the file (modules...)
# Annotated process_line
```rust

// must be peekable so we know when we are on the last command

//Will be used later, in the case of pipes
let mut previous_command = None;
//While have commands to process...
while let Some(command) = commands.next() {
//First command is divided...
let mut parts = command.trim().split_whitespace();
//into a command...
let mut command = parts.next().unwrap();
//and args
let args = parts;
//builtins : exit and cd are special

//otherwise it is /

//what I guess that means is that the child (our command)
//inherits the file descriptors (stdin, stdout, stderr)
