Where would arguments of stdin which were read into two variables string1 and st

Question

Where would arguments of stdin which were read into two variables string1 and string2 (which were read in by C main function) be stored in x86 if i was calling a x86 function to compare them. On top the my c file i have

extern int stringgt(char *s1, char *s2);

then i have the main which reads in two strings from stdin and stores them into string 1 and string 2 then i set int val = stringgt(str, str1) so i pass in into x86 now my question is how do i store those two arguments in variables in x86 using stacks what i have so far in my x86 is

SECTION .data

SECTION .bss

global stringgt

SECTION .text

stringgt:

           push ebp

           move ebp, esp

           push eax

           push ebx

Now i have no idea what if what im doing above is close to right but if someone

could tell me where the arguments/two strings are stored in x86 or if im even storing them?

Thank You

Explanation / Answer

extern int stringgt(char *s1, char *s2)
    {
    ........
   //.....some code
    }

  
    push s1 ;
    push s2 ;
    call stringggt;

    push ebp ;
    mov ebp, esp ;
    sub esp, 4 ;
   // ...some code

    add esp, 4 ;
    mov esp, ebp ;
    pop eb
