1 Command line arguments in C
2 ===========================
4 This package provides an example of passing command line arguments
10 This package contains a simple C program that can be compiled using
11 the `GNU Compiler Collection`_. As you write more complicated code
12 (to solve more complicated problems), you'll be linking to external
13 libraries and doing other things that make building your software more
14 complicated. We record the commands you need to build the software in
15 the ``Makefile``, which is interpreted by `GNU Make`_ to build the
18 Compile the program ``args`` with::
22 Run the program with::
26 Run ``make help`` to get a list of other targets defined in the
32 If you're wondering why I keep using backticks and underscores in this
33 ``README``, it's because I've writing `reStructuredText`_.
34 reStructedText is a markup syntax that is easy to read, and also easy
35 to convert to other formats. However, you can write your ``README``
36 using any syntax you like, so long as it is easy to understand.
41 This example package is released under the GNU GPLv3+. See
42 ``COPYING`` for details. It's a good idea to distribute your code
43 under an explicit license so your users will know how they are allowed
