function::cmdline_args — Fetch command line arguments from current process

Synopsis

function cmdline_args:string(n:long,m:long,delim:string)

Arguments

n
First argument to get (zero is the command itself)
m
Last argument to get (or minus one for all arguments after n)
delim
String to use to delimit arguments when more than one.

General Syntax

cmdline_args:string(n:long, m:long, delim:string)

Description

Returns arguments from the current process starting with argument number n, up to argument m. If there are less than n arguments, or the arguments cannot be retrieved from the current process, the empty string is returned. If m is smaller than n then all arguments starting from argument n are returned. Argument zero is traditionally the command itself.
