You can pass command line argument in C programming.

The command line argument is handled by the program main function where argc[] is total number of  arguments passed, and argv[] is a array which points number of parameters passed in the program.

#include <stdio.h>

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

   if( argc == 2 ) {
      printf("The argument supplied is %s\n", argv[1]);
   }
   else if( argc > 2 ) {
      printf("Too many arguments supplied.\n");
   }
   else {
      printf("One argument expected.\n");
   }
}

argv[] is the program name and argv[1] is like pointer to the command line, and *argv[n] is the last argument.

#include <stdio.h>

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

   printf("Program name %s\n", argv[0]);
 
   if( argc == 2 ) {
      printf("The argument supplied is %s\n", argv[1]);
   }
   else if( argc > 2 ) {
      printf("Too many arguments supplied.\n");
   }
   else {
      printf("One argument expected.\n");
   }
}
