Chapter I
Instructions
• Only this page will serve as reference: do not trust rumors.
• Watch out! This document could potentially change before submission.
• Make sure you have the appropriate permissions on your files and directories.
• You have to follow the submission procedures for all your exercises.
• Your exercises will be checked and graded by your fellow classmates.
• On top of that, your exercises will be checked and graded by a program called
Moulinette.
• Moulinette is very meticulous and strict in its evaluation of your work. It is entirely
automated and there is no way to negotiate with it. So if you want to avoid bad
surprises, be as thorough as possible.
• Moulinette is not very open-minded. It won’t try and understand your code if it
doesn’t respect the Norm. Moulinette relies on a program called norminette to
check if your files respect the norm. TL;DR: it would be idiotic to submit a piece
of work that doesn’t pass norminette’s check.
• These exercises are carefully laid out by order of difficulty - from easiest to hardest.
We will not take into account a successfully completed harder exercise if an easier
one is not perfectly functional.
• Using a forbidden function is considered cheating. Cheaters get -42, and this grade
is non-negotiable.
• You’ll only have to submit a main() function if we ask for a program.
• Moulinette compiles with these flags: -Wall -Wextra -Werror, and uses cc.
• If your program doesn’t compile, you’ll get 0.
• You cannot leave any additional file in your directory than those specified in the
subject.
• Got a question? Ask your peer on the right. Otherwise, try your peer on the left.

• Your reference guide is called Google / man / the Internet / ....
• Check out the "C Piscine" part of the forum on the intranet, or the slack Piscine.
• Examine the examples thoroughly. They could very well call for details that are
not explicitly mentioned in the subject...
• By Odin, by Thor ! Use your brain !!!

Chapter II
Foreword
Body Count is an American heavy metal band formed in Los Angeles,

California, in 1990. The group is fronted by Ice-T, who co-founded the group
with lead guitarist Ernie C out of their interest in heavy metal music.
Ice-T took on the role of vocalist and writing the lyrics for most of
the group’s songs. Lead guitarist Ernie C has been responsible for writing
the group’s music. Their controversial self-titled debut album was released
on Sire Records in 1992.
The song "Cop Killer" was the subject of much controversy. Although Sire
Records’ parent company, Warner Bros. Records, defended the single,
Ice-T chose to remove the track from the album because he felt
that the controversy had eclipsed the music itself. The group left
Sire the following year. Since then, they have released three further
albums on different labels, none of which have been received as commercially
or critically well as their debut album.
Three out of the band’s original six members are deceased:

D-Roc died from lymphoma, Beatmaster V from leukemia and
Mooseman in a drive-by shooting.

Exercise 00 : display_file
Exercise 00
display_file
Turn-in directory : ex00/
Files to turn in : Makefile, and files needed for your program
Allowed functions : close, open, read, write
• Create a program called ft_display_file that displays, on the standard output,

only the content of the file given as argument.
• The submission directory should have a Makefile with the following rules : all,
clean, fclean. The binary will be called ft_display_file.
• The malloc function is forbidden. You can only do this exercise by declaring a
fixed-sized array.
• All files given as arguments will be valid.
• Error messages have to be displayed on their reserved output followed by a new

line.
• If no argument is given, it should display

File name missing.
• If there is more than one argument, it should display

Too many arguments.
• If the file cannot be read, it should display

Cannot read file.

Exercise 01
cat
Allowed functions : close, open, read, write, strerror, basename
• Create a program called ft_cat which does the same thing as the system’s cat
command-line.
• You don’t have to handle options.
clean, fclean.
• You may use the variable errno (check the man for Errno).
• You should read the man of all the authorized functions
• You can only do this exercise by declaring a fixed-sized array. This array will have
a size limited to a little less than 30 ko. In order to test that size-limit, use the
ulimit command-line in your Shell.

Exercise 02
tail
Allowed functions : close, open, read, write, malloc, free, strerror,
