Thread: How to Pass Main Fuction argument to some Other Function

Hello ,
I am writing a program in which a Fucntion has to be wriiten to parse the Command Line .

When I include Code for parsing in main fuction iteslf ,its run ok .
But I want to make a fucntion of that code and call it from main ,than it show Segmentation error .

By using Debugging I found Some thing is mess with " -m" Parameter of Command line , But Cant Rectify it ..
Please Help !!

Code:

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
         
   //get_parameter_value(argc,argv);    
   //  buffer[packet_size+1]= char ("\0");    
      while (argc > 1)
     {
    if (argv[h][0] == '-')
      {
        switch (argv[h][1])
        {
        case's':
            server = gethostbyname(argv[h+1]);
                break;
                
         case'c':
            break;
                                        
               case'p':
            portno = atoi(argv[h+1]);                                      
        break;

             case'm':
            mode= atoi(argv[h+1]);                                      
        break;

            case 'z':
            packet_size=atoi(argv[h+1]); 
            buffer= malloc(sizeof(char) *packet_size);
            
                                      
        break;    
       
            case'T':
            Sen_Loop_time=atof(argv[h+1]);                               
           break;        
            
         case'P':
         protocol=*(argv[h+1]);                 
            break;    

                  default:
                 printf("Wrong Argument: %s\n", argv[0]);
                 break;
      }  }
      h ++;
      argc--;
      }
    if (protocol=='t')
    sockfd = create_tcp_socket();
    
     if (protocol=='u')
    sockfd = create_tcp_socket(); 
     bzero((char *) &serv_addr, sizeof(serv_addr));   
  if(mode==1)
{
Send();
print_sender_result();
}
else if (mode==0)
{
Receive();
print_receiver_result();
}
return 0; 
}

Following is the receving Fuction declartion but gives segmentation error

Code:

void get_parameter_value(int argc,char *argv[])

How is the function defined and called. A segmentation fault does not occur in a function declaration. Please show us the code.
