Check for a blacknull?

Okay how can I make a check if my own program is passed an argument when it starts.

In what sense....

Do you want to check if the program is passed an arguement when it starts?

Or do you want to check if it bypasses auto-patching...?

i'm probably being extra here since the pros are already replying.
But, just so as you know "blacknull" is just an argument passed into Conquer.exe, and is accepted by Conquer.exe as a start up cmd.

So, when you mention blacknulling a program, one would first think of Conquer.exe. That is kind of contradictory to your first post since you are checking if your own program is blacknulled. Doesnt make sense.

The First one. I want to check if the program is passed an argument when it starts.

if you question is as qouted above.. then you can simply look at your definition for main(), depending on how you handled your arguments.

If you want to find out if an argument is pass into some other programs, I can't offer any help. debugging is the key, lol

int main( int argc, char** argv )
{
  if ( argc > 1 )
    std::cout << "An argument was passed"\n";
  return 0;
}
