    int main ( in argc, char **argv )

    argv is an array of strings that you will pass to another function. argv[0] is always the program name, any strings after that will be what you want to pass. So if your command line input was:
    c:\ programName string1 string2

    You would pass string1 and string2 like so:
    /* Function definition */
    void function ( char *stringOne, char *stringTwo );

    /* Function call */
    function ( argv[1], argv[2] );
