Command line arguments are provided at the time of running the program. Example: Suppose that your program needs input name and its value then running it from commandline(DOS prompt) you provide the values after the program name java xyz name JAX(name is name and value is jax)

What is the work of argc and argv in c program?

The argc and argv identifiers in a (standardly declared) main function allow access to the command line arguments. The standard declaration is... int main (int argc, char *argv[]) ...or... int main (int argc, char **argv) The number of arguments is stored in argc. Since the name of the program is, by convention, always implicitly the first argument, then argc is always at least 1, even if there are no arguments. Each argument, then, is stored in argc[i], where i ranges from 0 to argc-1. The name of the program is stored at argv[0], and further arguments are argv[1], argv[2], etc. Normal convention is that each white space separated word on the command line is an argument. The exception is in the case of a quoted argument, in which case the entire quoted string, minus the quotes, is a single argument. Is is an error to attempt to write to any argument. If parsing by side effect parsers, such as with strtok(), is to be done, a copy of the argument must be made.

If command is not specified, a non-interactive shell exits, unless the shell option exefail is enabled, in which case if returns failure. Returns if file cannot be executed.
