Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I got this code from a book. It said "The implementation of waitfile uses fstat to extract the time when the file was last changed".
1) The program has two argument in main as in
main(argc, argv).
Do I included these value at the command line when I
run the program as in ./waitfile prog1 a
here is how those two arguments act when passed to main.
the first is the number of arguments passed to the command line
the second is an array of strings containing the arguments. It looks like this program expects atleast a filename.
