Command-line argument
In computer command line interfaces, a command line argument is an argument sent to a program being called. In general, a program can take any number of command line arguments, which may be necessary for the program to run, or may even be ignored, depending on the function of that program.For example, in the popular Unix environment, an example of a command-line argument is:rm file.s "file.s" is a command line argument which tells the program rm to remove the file "file.s".Programming languages such as C, C++ and Java allow a program to interpret the command line arguments by handling them as string parameters in the main function.
