The get-next-line project focuses on implementing a function that reads a single line ending with a newline character ('\n') from a file descriptor. The function is designed to handle lines of unknown length, dynamically managing memory as needed.
Create a function that efficiently reads a line from a file descriptor, regardless of its length, and terminates when encountering a newline character.
