You are wrong.

Stuff on the command line after the program name has nothing to do
with any of the std file descriptors.

In C, they are passed to your main method as a array of arguments and
an integer with the number of arguments.  Most other programming
languages do something similar.

Read anything from any language on command line arguments.
