args


args, a Python code which demonstrates the retrieval of command line arguments.

This shows how a code 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
      
then our argument counter will return the value 3, and the arguments, indexed by 0, 1 or 2, will return the values fu, man or chu.
