Question - Build a command-line interface application in C that interacts

with the user. The program should process command-line arguments,


handle user input, and provide meaningful output based on the user's
choices.

Answer - Building a Command-Line Interface Application in C

Here's a simple implementation of a command-line interface application in


C that interacts with the user. This program will process command-line
arguments, handle user input, and provide meaningful output based on
the user's choices.

Program Overview

The program will have the following features:

Process command-line arguments

Display a menu to the user

Handle user input

Provide meaningful output based on the user's choices

Code c

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

#include <string.h>

// Function to display the menu

void displayMenu() {

printf("Command-Line Interface Application\n");

printf("-------------------------------\n");

printf("1. Display Command-Line Arguments\n");

printf("2. Ask User for Input\n");

printf("3. Exit\n");

printf("-------------------------------\n");

// Function to display command-line arguments

void displayArguments(int argc, char *argv[]) {

printf("Command-Line Arguments:\n");
for (int i = 0; i < argc; i++) {

printf("Argument %d: %s\n", i, argv[i]);

// Function to ask user for input

void askUserInput() {

char userInput[100];

printf("Please enter some text: ");

fgets(userInput, sizeof(userInput), stdin);

userInput[strcspn(userInput, "\n")] = 0; // Remove the newline


character

printf("You entered: %s\n", userInput);

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {

int choice;

while (1) {

displayMenu();

printf("Enter your choice: ");

scanf("%d", &choice);

getchar(); // Consume the newline character

switch (choice) {

case 1:

displayArguments(argc, argv);

break;

case 2:

askUserInput();

break;

case 3:

printf("Exiting...\n");
return 0;

default:

printf("Invalid choice. Please try again.\n");

return 0;

Explanation

This program uses a simple while loop to continuously display a menu to


the user and handle their input. The display Menu function displays the
menu, the display Arguments function displays the command-line
arguments, and the ask User Input function asks the user for input.

The main function processes the command-line arguments and handles


the user's input based on their choice.

Compilation and Execution

To compile and execute the program, save it in a file named cli_app.c and
use the following commands:

gcc cli_app.c -o cli_app

./cli_app

You can pass command-line arguments to the program like this:

./cli_app arg1 arg2 arg3

This will display the command-line arguments when you choose option 1
from the menu.
