I'm making a minishell in C. I don't know what is the best way to order the strings. The idea is that by running the C program and typing "export" with no arguments, it simulates the output that bash does (declare -x "text").

How can i order it? Since export in bash orders the output of the env

Thanks

Edit:

I have this for the moment so that I can display it (without ordering), where g_shell->env is a global environment variable

int i = 0;
while (g_shell->env[i])
{
  printf("%s\n", g_shell->env[i]);
  i++;
}

    This has been asked several times this month and the answer is sort them however you want, there is no difference, no one cares. Commented Sep 11, 2021 at 10:28
  • What would the code look like? I'm having problems. Or if there is any link from stackoverflow to be able to base myself Commented Sep 11, 2021 at 10:49
  • From what I understand, if you give your C program the input "declare -x text", it should store 'text' in the list of variables but in sorted order so that when you do a export, it prints out variables in sorted order. Is that right? Commented Sep 11, 2021 at 10:49
  • That is correct, although what I have is a char **, not a list. It would be to order it this way Commented Sep 11, 2021 at 10:53
  • You can use qsort() inbuilt function to sort an array of strings (char **). See this link: stackoverflow.com/a/23189704 Commented Sep 11, 2021 at 10:55
