Question

hi i'm writing a c program to parse argc and argv.

Answer 1

#include<stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
printf("Your name is : %s\n", argv[1]);
}

And then from the command line write as follow :
./name nyeung

The result will be :
Your name is : nyeung

Good luck.

Answer 2

If you're actually parsing argv, strtok and getopts will be invaluable.

Answer 3

What @rsmith6559 said. Unless this is for a class and you can't use the right tool for the job, don't reinvent the wheel. That program is already written and it is getopt.
