What do the 'c' and 'v' in argv stands for?
Answer: C
Correct answer: 'c' means argument count 'v' means argument vector
The two parameters are named for what they hold: argc is the argument count and argv the argument vector, "vector" being the older term for a one-dimensional array.
The names are conventional rather than required - the compiler cares only about the types - but they are universal enough that departing from them is unhelpful. argv is an array of char *, one pointer per argument, terminated by a null pointer at argv[argc].
