args

NAME

args − manipulate and output command arguments.

SYNOPSIS

args [options] args...

DESCRIPTION

This command is used to manipulate and echo command line arguments to standard out. This can include adding quotes around each argument passed or a separator, or to output each argument on a separate line. The program source also offers a basic example of how to use shell argument parsing and localization in ucommon.

OPTIONS

−−delim=char

Set a deliminator character, such as ’,’, to use between each argument when outputing arguments.

−−directory

If argument is a directory, list directory contents as arguments.

−−follow

If argument is a directory and a symlink, follow symlinks recursively.

−−lines

Output each argument on a separate line.

−−quote=char|pair

Set a quote or special leading and trailing pair of characters to surround each argument with when output. A typical use might be --quote=() to surround arguments in parenthesis.

−−recursive

If argument is a directory, recursively scan directory and any subdirectory contents as arguments.

−−reverse

Reverse order of arguments.

−−help

Outputs help screen for the user.
