#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#define MAXLINE 10000


int get_line(char *line, int max);

/* find: print lines that match pattern from 1st arg */

int main(int argc, char *argv[])

{

   char line[MAXLINE];
   int found = 0;

   if (argc != 2)
	   printf("Usage: find pattern\n");

   else
	   while (get_line(line, MAXLINE) > 0)
           if (strstr(line, argv[1]) != NULL) {
			printf("%s", line);
			found++;
			
		   }
   return found;

}



int get_line (char s[], int lim)
	
{
	int c, i;
	
	for (i = 0; i<lim-1 && (c=getchar()) != EOF && c!= '\n'; ++i)	
		s[i] = c;
	if (c == '\n') {
		s[i] = c;
		++i;
	}
	s[i] = '\0';
	return i;
	
}


 



I can compile it but have no idea how to use it.
