UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I have to

Write a program in C that recognizes the following commands and translates them into much simpler ones

Commands to recognize shorter command

list

cd dir

Long commands are read from the standard input and short commands are written to the standard output. To do it, follow these rules:

1) Recognize the command
2) If the command has a parameter, create a function that reads this parameter character by character and return a dynamic list with all the characters and the number of characters.
(REMEMBER: the size of the command has no limitation in size!!!!)

i have done the same exercise with if...else

i am bit confused....i can't understand the dynamic list...

whatever, thank you everybody..
