A question about linux and C programming

[machokis]

My question is about piping.

If i do this...(in the terminal)

#cat somefile.txt | ./myprogram (arguments)

Where/how in the world will the concatenated somefile.txt be stored in my program code?!?!

oh please do help me...thanks!

Heres a great article related to piping: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Pipe . That website basically explains it all.
