command line aruments are nothing but passing the function arguments through command line. ex: $ program name argument1 argument2 main(int argc, char *argv[]) argc is the number of arguments passed here is 3 including program name. argv is array of character pointers i.e array of strings hence argv[0] is program name argv[1] is argument1 argv[2] is argument2Thanks

Arguments mean passing the values from calling function to the functiondefinition(called function).Those are user defind functions.
If we want pass the arguments to main() funtion there only one way which is command line arguments. i.e we pass the arguments to the main()function from stadard I/P device.Declaration for commandline arguments is as fallows.

main(int argc,char *argv[])

here argc is noof arguments we passed through commandline.
and *argv[] pointer array of our arguments(Our arguments).

ThankU
