A command line argument is a way for a user to pass arguments to your program. For example if you want the user to be able to load a file, the user could run the program from the command line like: ./your_program file_to_load

command line was the solution through which the administrator can communicate with the software existing in the computer

Some applications have to be able to be controlled from a console. There are cases in which you don't have access to a GUI. For example when remote accessing a server via Linux terminal.
