sps: the shitposting shell
==========================

An experimental Bourne-style shell for me to learn moar C. Don't actually use
this for any serious reason.

You need to fully-qualify the programs and arguments you call at the moment,
like:

    sps$ /bin/grep pattern /home/user/file

Installing
----------

    $ sudo apt-get install build-essential libreadline6-dev
    $ make

Working
-------

*   Readline keys
*   Commands (with fully-qualified paths) and arguments
*   ^D to exit

Not working but planned
-----------------------

In rough order of priority:

*   At least a few simple builtins, like "cd" and "exit"
*   $PATH so you don't have to fully qualify all your programs
*   Prompt with username and current directory
*   Environment variables
*   Quoting/escaping arguments (i.e. something better than just strtok())
*   Command history
