Hi

I have a pretty simple question... which function should i use, __GetMainArgs from crtdll.dll or __getmainargs from msvcrt.dll? is there any difference? i have been not able to find anything about it on internet. Probably a stupid question lol

What this function is supposed to do?
If you are talking about command line arguments, then use GetCommandLine and CommandLineToArgv from kernel32.dll

I tried using them but they are unicode and got a lot of troubles with them. So i used __getmainargs but im not sure if import it from crtdll.dll or msvcrt.dll as i could not find any reference about them

Use msvcrt.dll, it's a more modern version of crtdll.dll
