Process
It started with unmatched professionalism, enthusiasm, and equitable accommodation, insofar as I was allowed to choose the programming language for technical interview questions. Three venues followed:
- Two via phone/desktop terminal sessions
- An on-site invitation for multiple face-to-face dialogs and challenges.
Questions
Write a program in C that implements a shell's facilities for:
