- Environment Variable Management: Set, get, and delete environment variables.
- Input/Output Redirection: Support for input and output redirection using
<,>, and|. - Signal Handling: Custom signal handling for a better user experience, including handling of
Ctrl+CandCtrl+D. - Command History: Maintain a history of executed commands for easy access and re-execution.
- Error Handling: Robust error messages for common issues like command not found, syntax errors, and memory allocation failures.
