argvprocedure

Return a list of all supplied command-line arguments. The first item in the list is a string containing the name of the executing program. The other items are the arguments passed to the application. It depends on the host-shell whether arguments are expanded ('globbed') or not.

NOTE: This is the "raw" unprocessed argument list, including runtime options (starting with -:) which are consumed by the runtime library.
