This article was previously published under Q126571 SUMMARY MS-DOS applications written in C generally use main() for
the entry point. The command line can be obtained from the argv parameter of
main(). In particular, the program name is pointed to by argv[0].
There is a similar mechanism that can be used from Windows-based and
Win32-based applications. REFERENCES The Windows 3.1 SDK "Guide to Programming," section 14.3.
