i just wanted to know if using the getline function is valid to read an input from the command line? also for this specific function do we have to use character pointers or can we use an char array??

There is no standard getline function, though there is a POSIX standard getline, so you need to clarify what you are talking about.

getline isn't standard C although it is available via GCC. For standard C see How to get a line of text FAQ. For GCC getline see GNU Getline Tutorial.
