Subject: Variable to sizeof function.

Hi,

I want to find out the size of a structure which the user will give as an argument 
as follows.

#include <>  -- All includes..
..
main(int arc, char *argv[])
{
printf("Size of structure %s is: %d\n", argv[1], sizeof(struct argv[1]));
}

However, I'm unable to compile. It's giving:
"sizeof applied to an incomplete type".

How can I get it working.

Thanks,
Vikas
