Hi, I've been googling through the internet trying to find articles and sample on the optional flag in commandline argument. I was hoping someone could point me to the right direction for the example. I found one but it has very little information.

I've been trying to write a program to show different types of output whether the flag is there or not but it doesn't work.-d, --nodisplays
Suppress all displays.
Explain how it should work, post the code, and any problems or errors you have so far; we can help you more that way.
I can't really post any codes, from what I understand from the quote, I tried using printf, fprintf with or without the flag, it still prints both strings.
E.G.
All I did was a simple program to test which string will be printed.Code:./sample -d
You have to parse the command line options yourself
There are no standard flags which affect all C programs. There are however a few standard conventions amongst certain groups of related programs.Code:int suppress = 0; int main ( int argc, char *argv[] ) { if ( strcmp( argv[1], "-d") == 0 ) { suppress = 1; } // more code if ( ! suppress ) { printf( "A message\n" ); } return 0; }
If you're using Unix/Linux, then the getopt() function can make parsing command line arguments a bit easier.
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.
I see..thanks Salem!
