C: how to pass arguments using -l and s <num>

[prophete]

googled it and infoed it, didn't find anything on how to use them and get the values in the program

Reading arguments is done by looping through argv, or by using getopts()

ok but what's the use of -l and -s here? why don't i just pass them as normal arguments if so?

[likwid]

I rly don't understand your question. Your argument list is referenced by a pointer to the first element of an array called argv. Are you talking about a specific program here?

[prophete]

let's say i wana run this program ./simple-batch.e -l6 or ./simple-batch.e -s5

what do -l and -s do?

[likwid]

Whatever you want them to? Options aren't universal, the programmer of the application decides what options do what.
