For part $1-$ CSV Processing

A CSV $($or Comma Separated Values$)$ file is a text file where columnar $($field$)$ data is separated by commas. But to handle columns that have commas within them we have to enclose that field within quotation marks $("),$ if the field has quotation marks in it then the entire field should be enclosed in quotation marks and the embedded quotation mark has to be doubled $("").$ All records within a CSV file are separated by a newline. In simple terms, each line of the CSV file represents one record. But, a field may contain a newline. If a field does require a newline the entire field has to be enclosed in quotation marks. So more accurately each record of a CSV file is separated by a non$-$quoted newline.

For this part you will create a file using our naming conventions with csv as the option $-$ so $\_\_$HW$4\_$csv$.$c$.$ You will also need a header file with the $4$ function prototypes.

You will need to implement $4$ functions:

$1.$csvopen: Opens a CSV file, reads the first line $($header$),$ and returns a null$-$terminated array of C string pointers $($a vector$),$ each representing a column name. This function should also prepare the file for reading subsequent lines. Return NULL on failure. The caller should NOT free the memory associated with the header.

char $**$ csvopen $($char $*$ filename$)$;

$2.$csvnext: Reads the next line from the CSV file opened by csvopen, parses it according to CSV formatting rules $($including handling quoted fields, escaped quotes, and embedded newlines$),$ and returns a null$-$terminated array of strings $($vector$),$ each representing a cell value in the row.

char $**$ csvnext $($void$)$;

$3.$csvheader: Returns the header read by csvopen as a null$-$terminated array of strings. This can be called at any time after csvopen to retrieve the header. The caller should NOT free the memory associated with the header.

char $**$ csvheader $($void$)$;

$4.$csvclose: Closes the CSV file and frees any memory still associated with managing the file $($including the header. Return $-1$ if an error otherwise return how many data lines had been read

int csvclose $($void$)$;

To test your code run make test this will exercise the $4$ functions with the test program. Note that this is not $100\%$ comprehensive but does cover most cases.

This is what your output should look like when you run make test:
