I don't quite understand WHY I can pass 'argc' and 'argv' to another
function? The reason I ask this is every command I type in command line is
not a seperate process, it's run in the whoel scope (according to the book I
mentioned before). And originally 'argc' and 'argv' are valid for
single-running processes, not as a part of any code.

Still confused...
