if i got a c++ executable file like this: executable.exe and i want to add some parameters like: executable.exe +username = pino

A:
Arguments to main. Your main is
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
...
}
All the command-line params are in argv. There are also Windows-specific APIs.

To clarify: argv is an array of char* pointers aka strings. `argc` indicates how many strings you have. By convention, argv[0] is a char* pointing to "executable.exe" - the name of your app - but this is not entirely reliable.
