Command Parsing, Execution, and Initial Pipe Handling

[Yusufabdulsttar]

Goals:

• Develop Command Parsing Logic: Create a robust mechanism for interpreting user inputs into actionable commands. This involves identifying the command name and separating any arguments or options.

• Implement Command Execution: Establish a framework for executing parsed commands. This includes launching external programs and handling their input/output streams.

• Initial Pipe Handling: Implement basic pipe handling capabilities to allow the output of one command to serve as the input for another.

Definition of Done (DoD):

• A functional parsing system that accurately interprets user commands and their arguments.
• An execution framework that can run external commands and capture their outputs.
• Initial pipe handling implemented, allowing commands to be connected via pipes for basic input/output redirection.
• The updated Yocto image is deployed and tested on QEMU to verify command parsing and execution within the embedded environment.

Blockers: None

Completed Tasks:

• Command Parsing Logic: We now have a system that understands user commands along with their arguments and options. It’s been tested and works well.

• Command Execution Framework: The framework for running these commands is up and running. It can execute external commands and handle their outputs effectively.

• Testing on QEMU: After updating the Yocto image with our new features, we tested everything on QEMU. It all works as expected in the embedded environment.

• Initial Pipe Handling: Basic functionality for connecting commands via pipes is implemented, allowing one command's output to be used as another's input.
