Try to get a book how to learn C.
The arguments to your program are given to the main() function if you
have it like:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
  printf("number of arguments=%i, argv[0]=%s\n", argc, argv[0]);
  argc--;
  argv++;
  printf("rest of argv:");
  while (argc > 0)
	printf(" %s", *argv);
  printf("\n");
}

Try it, and by the way, this isn't a C-coding forum, try something
like: alt.lang.c or something like that.

hth,
 Robert.
