  1. Command Line Parameters

  2. Number of arguments Passing Unix parameters to C (1) • Often a user wants to pass parameters into the program from the UNIX prompt obelix[3] > progname arg1 arg2 arg3 • This is accomplished in C using argc and argv • For example: int main (int argc, char *argv[ ] ) { /* Statements go here */ } • Call this program from Unix obelix [4] > progname arg1 "second arg" arg3 array of strings (char *)

  3. Passing Unix parameters to C (2) #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int count; printf ("Program name: %s\n", argv [0]); if (argc > 1) { for (count=1; count<argc; count++) printf ("Argument %d: %s\n",count,argv[count]); } else puts ("No command line arguments entered."); return 0; }

  4. Passing Unix parameters to C (3) • Suppose we compiled the previous program to the executable file myargs • obelix[5] > myargs first "second arg" 3 4 > myargs.out • myargs.out contains the following lines: Program name: myargs Argument 1: first Argument 2: second arg Argument 3: 3 Argument 4: 4

  5. /* show file */ #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[ ]) { FILE *fp; int k; if(argc !=2) { printf("Usage: %s filename\n", argv[0]); return 0; } if((fp=fopen(argv[1], "r"))==NULL){ printf("Cannot open file!\n"); return 1; } while((k=fgetc(fp))!=EOF ) fputc(k, stdout); fclose(fp); return 0; } Generally a main function of a C program for Unix checks whether the arguments are valid and prints simple help information. Passing Unix arguments to C (4)
