Proposed change
This PR extends the shell’s built-in command support by adding the following commands to handle_builtins():
pwd – Prints the current working directory using getcwd()
echo – Prints arguments passed to the command, separated by spaces
export – Sets environment variables using KEY=VALUE syntax
These additions improve basic shell usability while keeping the implementation simple and consistent with the existing built-in structure.
Details
pwd uses a fixed-size buffer and reports errors via perror
echo iterates over argv starting from index 1
export supports:
export KEY=VALUE
export KEY (sets an empty value)
No changes were made to existing built-ins (cd, exit)
Type of change
Existing code improvement (feature enhancement)
Non-breaking change
Notes
This implementation focuses on minimal POSIX-like behavior and does not yet handle advanced cases (e.g., echo -n, variable expansion, multiple exports in one command).
