1 How many array items can I add in argv[]?
2 What is MAX size of every char *?

You can try:

That is, there is no individual limit on the number of arguments or argument’s length. Only the limit on total size required to store all the arguments and environment variables.
xargsfigures out maximum command line length usingsysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX);which yields the same value as reported bygetconf ARG_MAX.On Linux command line arguments and environment variables are put into new process’ stack. So, the process/thread maximum stack size is the ultimate upper bound. Linux-specific limits are hardcoded in the kernel:
