[Dev-C++] My Operating System...

[Rick L. <sev...@co...>]

I am writing an operating system called StarFire it will be based off of
dos, however the programs included with command.com (dir, echo, etc. ) will
be external commands in the C:\bin folder. What functions can I use to
detect arguments passed from the shell to a program.

Example:        [dir.exe -a C:\bin] or [dir.exe -hsx C:\bin]

dir is the standard dos dir statement however i want the arguments to be:
    -a        all files
    -h        hidden files
    -s        system files
    -x        compressed files
    -u        user files
    -t        text files

or any combination of  those with only one dash. Is this possible?
