Have an exe return parameters just like an exe accepts parameters on start

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I read from a question on this forum .exe's can be made to accept parameters on startup, almost like you are calling a method and passing some variables. If this is true, can the same be done if I want the .exe to return values (like when a ref or out keyword is used in methods)?

Again, if this is at all possible, how do I implement this into exe's? Can I maaybe be given some resources to read through on this?
