The C standard says following about main function in C.
The function called at program startup is named main. The
implementation declares no prototype for this function. It shall
be defined with a return type of int and with no parameters:
int main(void) { /* ... */ }
or with two parameters (referred to here as argc and argv, though
any names may be used, as they are local to the function in which
they are declared):
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { /* ... */ }
or equivalent;10) or in some other implementation-defined manner.
But most of the compilers also support a third declaration of main that accepts third argument. The third argument stores all environment variables.
#include <stdio.h> // Most of the C compilers support a third parameter to main which // store all envorinment variables int main(int argc, char *argv[], char * envp[]) { int i; for (i = 0; envp[i] != NULL; i++) printf("\n%s", envp[i]); getchar(); return 0; } |
