Uh, my first idea is that you should pick a language besides C.
Either that, or get a book on the subject and learn the language
before trying to program in it.

Command line parameters in C programs are gotten in in two parameters
that are arguments to main().  Declare your main like this --

	int main (int argc, char *argv[])

The argc argument will be the count of command line arguments when the
program is invoked.  The argv aregument is an array of pointers to
character, where the array entries are strings containing the command
line arguments.  argv[0] contains the name of the program.  This is
standard C.

Any time, but I seriously suggest that you're going to need to know a
LOT more about C than you apparently do.
