Question
Hi,
   I just hope you can help me clear things out regarding the parameters in the function main() in C. It goes more likely as this :
   int main (int arcg, char *argv[]){}
Where can we do the passing of parameters to function main()?
   I just for your clearer response. Thank you and more power.

Answer
When you compile your C program, it gets linked to a library, which contains the startup routine. This startup routine is the one which calls the main() function. main() function is the entry point into the program. So, if you miss out the main() function, you will get linking error!

So, you need not call main() function.
But, if you call your main() function from your program, then there are chances of it going to infinite loop, unless care is taken.
