Command Line Argument
Hi,
I have a very simple C program which will run in UNIX. When i am passing * as the command line argument, i am gettig the below output.
Program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include "mylibrary.h"
int **environ;
int main(int argc,char *argv[])
{
int i;
printf("\nHello World");
printf("\nNumber of arguments: %d\n",argc);
for(i=0;i<argc;i++)
{
printf("\nArgument # %d is: %s\n",i,argv[i]);
}
return 1;
}
Compile:
cc hello.c -o hello
Run:
./hello *
Output:
Hello World
Number of arguments: 5
Argument # 0 is: ./hello
Argument # 1 is: hello
Argument # 2 is: hello.c
Argument # 3 is: mylibrary.h
Can somebody please explain me what is the exact reason of this output.
Thanks
Sudipta.
