For static allocation:

char buf[10][100];

For dynamic allocation:

char *buf[10];

And assign thereafter:

buf[5] = strdup("Hello");

As Adriano said, in C, the main function contains an array of strings:

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{ [...] }

argv is an array of strings, and is properly declared.
Copy that. (and if you run into problems, ask a specific, detailed question)
