How do I access an inputed file?

Question

So I have this code:

  #include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    //Reassign input arguments into local values
    // Check if inputs are valid
    // translate the input string
    //assign the list into a nested string

    //search for translated string in the list
    //save all found cases
    //print all found cases

    int i = 0;
    for (i = 0; i < argc; i++) {
        printf("argv[%d] = %s\n", i, argv[i]);
    }
    printf("%d",argc);
    return 0;
}

Which after typing: outDebug.exe hello <seznam.txt into the command prompt...

it gives me these returns:

argv[0] = outDebug.exe

argv[1] = hello

Where did the file go to if it's not in argv?

Answer 1

As mentioned in the comments, you can get it from stdin. With fgets for example:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    int i = 0;
    for (i = 0; i < argc; i++)
    {
        printf("argv[%d] = %s\n", i, argv[i]);
    }
    printf("%d\n",argc);

    char buffer[256];
    while(fgets(buffer, 256, stdin)) puts(buffer);

    return 0;
}
