True, although one problem with *NIX command line utilities is that
there's no
standardization in how control parameters are passed to them.
??? there is
int argc, char *argv[]
which is considerably more standardisation than the windows XP or vista
command-line has.
In MS-DOS, it's even easier: you get one string up to 127 characters long.
it's up to you to play with it, which is usually tokenization first (which
is just what the C compiler does when it cooks up your args).
How it's programmed doesn't matter. He's probably referring to switches and
order (switches before arguments?).
