I'm not sure how it might be accomplished in linux, but in Windows you could use 'LPTSTR 
GetCommandLineA()' to retrieve it, but it will be as 'char*' rather than 'char[][]'. 
There is 'LPWSTR* CommandLineToArvW(LPCWSTR, int*)' to convert it to an argc/argv pair, 
but it isn't available in ASCII mode that I know of.
