Second, there is . The exam provides only the gnl (get_next_line) function. The cadet must manually parse a command string like "ls -l | grep .c > out.txt" into tokens, handling quotes, spaces, and multiple pipes. Without strtok (forbidden), without dynamic arrays (except those you build), the parsing logic often becomes a labyrinth of pointers and indices. It is here that many exams are lost—not in the execve , but in the delicate art of splitting a string without losing your mind or your memory.
