This code is to print out the program name and arguments list one by one:
I understand it is about pointer and pointer address of the array. Can somebody explain to me why line 7 should not be as :
I thought *argv[iCount] is the correct way as argv[iCount] is one of the array members address, not the content of the pointer pointing to. But my understanding is wrong! What did I miss? Thanks a lot!
say I have a IP address which is 10.0.0.12, and subnet mask is 255.255.255.240, what is the network address and what is the broadcast address which host lives on?
And could you explain how to get the answer?
thanx in advance! (7 Replies)
Hi sir,
i want to make such programe which takes MAC(Ethernet) address of any host & give me its IP address.......
but i'm nt getting that how i can pass the MAC address to Frame........
Please give me an idea for making such program...
Thanks & regards

How do I get a pointer to any 32 bit address on my hard drive, in which I then could read that memory or write to that memory address?
And, while the subject is on, how do get a 32 bit pointer in RAM also, in which I can do the same?
I'm using C and Objective-C with gcc on an iBook G4.

Hi i'm new to c programming and i'm trying to change the address of a pointer/variable but i can't seem to get it right,

If one wants to get a start address of a array or a string or a block of memory via a function, there are at least two methods to achieve it:
(1) one is to pass a pointer-to-pointer parameter, like:
int my_malloc(int size, char **pmem)
{
*pmem=(char *)malloc(size);
if(*pmem==NULL)... (11 Replies)
Trying to do a ksh script that needs to list all ip address between ip address a and b ..
ie.
Ip address A=192.168.1.200
Ip address B=192.168.2.15
So the subnet changes from 1 to 2 but I want to list all possible ip addresses between the 2..
Which would be:

execlp
execl(3) Library Functions Manual execl(3)Name
execl, execv, execle, execlp, execvp, exect, environ - execute a file
Syntax
execl(name, arg0, arg1, ..., argn, (char *)0)
char *name, *arg0, *arg1, ..., *argn;
execv(name, argv)
char *name, *argv[];
execle(name, arg0, arg1, ..., argn, (char *)0, envp)
char *name, *arg0, *arg1, ..., *argn, *envp[];
execlp(file, arg0, arg1, ..., argn, (char *)0)
char *file, *arg0, *arg1, ..., *argn;
execvp(file,argv)
char *file, *argv[];
exect(name, argv, envp)
char *name, *argv[], *envp[];
extern char **environ;
Description
These routines provide various interfaces to the system call. Refer to for a description of their properties; only brief descriptions are
provided here.
In all their forms, these calls overlay the calling process with the named file, then transfer to the entry point of the core image of the
file. There can be no return from a successful exec. The calling core image is lost.
The name argument is a pointer to the name of the file to be executed. The pointers arg[0], arg[1] ... address null-terminated strings.
Conventionally arg[0] is the name of the file.
Two interfaces are available. is useful when a known file with known arguments is being called; the arguments to are the character strings
constituting the file and the arguments; the first argument is conventionally the same as the file name (or its last component). A 0 argu-
ment must end the argument list.
The version is useful when the number of arguments is unknown in advance. The arguments to are the name of the file to be executed and a
vector of strings containing the arguments. The last argument string must be followed by a 0 pointer.
The version is used when the executed file is to be manipulated with The program is forced to single step a single instruction giving the
parent an opportunity to manipulate its state. On VAX-11 machines, this is done by setting the trace bit in the process status longword.
When a C program is executed, it is called as follows:
main(argc, argv, envp)
int argc;
char **argv, **envp;
where argc is the argument count and argv is an array of character pointers to the arguments themselves. As indicated, argc is convention-
ally at least one and the first member of the array points to a string containing the name of the file.
The argv is directly usable in another because argv[argc] is 0.
The envp is a pointer to an array of strings that constitute the environment of the process. Each string consists of a name, an "=", and a
null-terminated value. The array of pointers is terminated by a null pointer. The shell passes an environment entry for each global shell
variable defined when the program is called. See for some conventionally used names. The C run-time start-off routine places a copy of
envp in the global cell which is used by and to pass the environment to any subprograms executed by the current program.
The and routines are called with the same arguments as and but duplicate the shell's actions in searching for an executable file in a list
of directories. The directory list is obtained from the environment.
Restrictions
If is called to execute a file that turns out to be a shell command file, and if it is impossible to execute the shell, the values of
argv[0] and argv[-1] will be modified before return.
Diagnostics
If the file cannot be found, if it is not executable, if it does not start with a valid magic number if maximum memory is exceeded, or if
the arguments require too much space, a return constitutes the diagnostic; the return value is -1. For further information, see Even for
the super-user, at least one of the execute-permission bits must be set for a file to be executed.
Files
/bin/sh Shell, invoked if command file found by execlp or execvp
