arguments from command line 1

[Bangieff]

Hi all
here I am again with my lame questions
How may I get from command line special characters like <,>,;.... and have them like arguments for my program (main(int argc,char **argv))?

thanks

You need to prepose them with the escape
character '\';

For egs: myprog \< \> \*\? will read <.>,* and ? as
arguments for your program myprog.

Yes that's clear to me
but I need some way to catch them without &quot;\&quot;. That's because my program allows users to execute some commands with root privilegies but a don't want someone to read my shadow and copy it to stdout for exapmle
