Description

Most Symbian programs are launched through a graphical shell rather than through a command-line. The common exceptions are .exes on the PC platform, which can be run from a Windows command prompt.

For .exe programs, control is received through the E32Main() function, which, however does not supply arguments. Instead, access to arguments is provided by CCommandLineArguments.
