Passing long long to argc and argv OK?

[Carrots]

Hi there,

I am passing command line arguments to a program.

I know traditionally people declare argc and argv like this:

int main(int argc, char *argv[]

but I need to pass bigger numbers into my program (type long long).

Is it OK to use the following:

int main(long long argc, char *argv[]

Or am I making a mistake with this?

Sorry for the newbie question, just couldn't find any examples of this being done, hence my doubt.

Thanks for any advice on this!

No, you're wrong.
argc is a COUNT of the number of arguments, it has nothing to do with the value of any single argument.

All the args are in argv[] as a series of string, which you need to covert.

So a long long int would be a string in argv[1] with
./myprog 1234567890987654321
