I acnt get your question fully.
If u want to store the command line argument inside the code then you should do like this
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. int main(int argc,char**argv)
  2. {
  3.    char *ip_arg=NULL:
  4.    if(argc> 1)
  5.    {
  6.      ip_arg=(char*)malloc(strlen(argv[1] +1);
  7.      strcpy(ip_arg,argv[1]);
  8.    }
  9.  
  10. }
  11.

Hi,
Have started studying any C book for learning C?
Since the printing part is very basic in C i am asking this.
You can print using printf in C

Thanks
