This is nostalgic. For a Systems Programming course, I had the following assignment:

- Implement readline(3)

- If you have any questions, see the man page.

- Extra credit: implement all GNU extensions.



What a great assignment. I would have loved that class.


A cool way to structure the class, but hurt by the fact that the professor steadfastly refused to provide anything beyond the man pages. Even the lectures consisted of him putting a man page up on the projector and reading it aloud, verbatim.
