parameters to main

[sircool]

hi
I wrote a program and that should takes some parameters when it is executed
like that

program.exe /s

and I wanna write if statements according to parameters but i could not.
for instance;

 
#include<stdio.h>
 
main(char c)
{
if(c=='s')
func1();  // appropriate function
else 
func2();
 
return 0;
}
I think question is simple.I try to take some parameters from main but my prog. could not work i do something wrong
 
please help me

main has the following prototype

int main(int argc, char **argp)
{
// Code here
}

You are not at liberty to change it.

argc and argp however allow you access to the command line. argp is a pointer to an array of char pointers (some people like to write it as char *argp[] to reflect this). argc is the size of this array. The only thing you can be sure of is that

argp[argc] == NULL

this is garunteed by the standard for a conforming implementation.

However normally

argp[0] is the name of the program running

and

argp[1] ... argp[argc-1] are the other items appearing on the command line split of white space characters.

In your example

argc = 2
argp[0] = "program.exe"
argp[1] = "/s"
