NAME

6       args - manipulate and output command arguments.
7

SYNOPSIS

9       args [options] args...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This  command  is used to manipulate and echo command line arguments to
13       standard out.  This can include  adding  quotes  around  each  argument
14       passed  or  a separator, or to output each argument on a separate line.
15       The program source also offers a basic example  of  how  to  use  shell
16       argument parsing and localization in ucommon.
17

OPTIONS

19       --delim=char
20              Set  a  deliminator  character, such as ',', to use between each
21              argument when outputing arguments.
22
23       --directory
24              If argument is a directory, list  directory  contents  as  argu‐
25              ments.
26
27       --follow
28              If argument is a directory and a symlink, follow symlinks recur‐
29              sively.
30
31       --lines
32              Output each argument on a separate line.
33
34       --quote=char|pair
35              Set a quote or special leading and trailing pair  of  characters
36              to surround each argument with when output.  A typical use might
37              be --quote=() to surround arguments in parenthesis.
38
39       --recursive
40              If argument is a directory, recursively scan directory  and  any
41              subdirectory contents as arguments.

43       --reverse
44              Reverse order of arguments.
