Another completely ignorant question (about arguments)

[filburt1]

How can I read what arguments what passed to my proggie? In Java, it's public static void main(String[] args), so is it int main(char *args) in C++?

[Vlatko]

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
program-statements
}

argc

An integer specifying how many arguments are passed to the program from the command line. Because the program name is considered an argument, argc is at least 1.

argv[x] contains argument.

Cool, thanks.

In the standard, argv[argc] is defined to be NULL
