ARGS
Command Line Argument Retrieval

ARGS is an interactive executable C program which demonstrates the retrieval of command line arguments.

This shows how a program can count and retrieve the individual command line arguments with which it was invoked. Thus, if our executable is called fu and we invoke it with the command

        fu man chu
