You can use the standard C method of accessing the command line with Allegro
programs:
Int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
}
argc receives the number of arguments and argv is an array of C strings with
the arguments in it. argv[0] is special and it’s always the program name. Use
specified arguments start at index 1, so check if argc is >= 2.

Subject: [AD] Where is the command line?
I would like to use command line parameters, in either Windows or Linux, so
that when I launch one Allegro program, it in turn will open a file specified
on the command line. I could mix and match native OS functions, but I prefer
something cross-OS, in other words, an Allegro function that supports this in
some way. I have searched the Internet and found nothing. Does such a thing
even exist?
Thanks,
Andrew
