Dear Experts

I have been giving the task of shell scripting in C++ for implementation of Secure command in my shell.
The Secure command will prompt for the filename and the password (like *****) and can only be displayed when ls -secure and password is provided.
For example
>> LS
File1 File2

>> Secure File1
Password:*****

>> LS
File2

>> LS -secure
password:*****
File1 File2

I searched the similar thread but wouldn't get any usefull information.
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated

To me this is a contradiction in terms. Either you are writing a shell script or you are writing C++ code to be compiled???

Maybe if you show us what you have tried we will get a better idea of how to assist?

ie. Are you expecting to rewrite the ls command in C++?

I think he means executing commands from within C++ code -- as what creating a graphical frontend to the commands does.

I would like to compile a C program in linux. The Thread of Implementation of LS doesnot provide any hint/help for the problem.
System and Exec family of commands are prohibited.
Thanks for your reply

In that case, show us what you have and where you are getting stuck?

We are here to help, not to do the work for you.

Dear

I am unable to understand that should i need to make my own function for push and pop or are there any system calls like getcwd(working directory) which can be helpfull to me

Thanks

Well let us see what google has to say:

Well, the filtering (which I think is what you're asking about) is super-easy. Have the secure command write the list of "secured" filenames to a hidden file, possibly ~/.ls_secured. Then have LS (or your implementation of ls) read that file.

This is blatant homework, so no further security measures should be necessary.

BTW, your other threads indicated that you're having trouble writing code to actually list files. You've posted conflicting information about your implementation language:

Therefore, here are links to the best practices for both C and C++.

• http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/man...stem-Interface
• http://live.boost.org/doc/libs/1_44_.../simple_ls.cpp

A lot of C++ programmers would prefer the first solution though .

Yes, you actually need to learn the relevant parts of one of these two libraries.

Now don't ever claim that this thread "contained no useful information", because you've just been given everything you need to get this done.
