GetCommandLine

The GetCommandLine function returns a pointer to the command-line string for the current process.

LPTSTR GetCommandLine(VOID)

Parameters

This function has no parameters.

Return Values

The return value is a pointer to the command-line string for the current process.

Remarks

Non-Unicode console processes written in C can use the argc and argv arguments to access the command-line arguments. The parameters of the command-line string, excluding the program name, are also available to such non-Unicode applications as a parameter of the WinMain function. The reason for the Unicode exclusion from these options is that WinMain, argc, and argv use the LPSTR data type for parameters, not the LPTSTR datatype.
