- command history.

Code based on "Write a Shell in C" tutorial by Stephen Brennan (http://brennan.io/2015/01/16/write-a-shell-in-c/). The code has been slightly modified. The code contains stringtoargcargv.cpp, a set of functions written by Bernhard Eder (http://web.archive.org/web/20121030075237/http://bbgen.net/blog/2011/06/string-to-argc-argv) for parsing a string into argc and argv.

The library can be compiled as shared library with the CMakeLists.txt file already in msh-console-library/.
