Can anybody provide an example how to read a file given a following construct:
where -f is some flag and there can be many other flagsCode:./program -f < filename
I know how to deal with flags but this construction is confusing
thnx
PS. ok attachment, i need just filename from stdin not the actual pointer. i need to pretend that the stuff defined in <filename part is just a filename and not actual pointer

This means you read from stdin, using fgets() or scanf() or getchar() in whatever combination makes you happy.
> ./program -f filename
This means "filename" is in argv[2]
You can then fopen(argv[2]) for example, then read the file as much as you want to.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
