how to recognize command line running? [message #758398]

Hello,
i'm using eclipse and C++.

i want to ask how can i find out from within my code, whether or not i was invoke from command line or GUI???

i have an application that if you double-click it, its open and show you a GUI to work with. i want to make my application to support using a command line without opening the GUI. of course i will supply some additional parameters in the command line.
but how can i recognize from within the code if it has been started for GUI or not?

thanks in advance,

You can't. You will have to supply a command line argument that says to run in non-gui mode.

On Linux you could check which process is the parent process of your application. If called from the command line this should be e.g. bash (or another shell!). But I am not sure if this will work reliable.
