This file is the start of a library of I/O routines. The only one implemented to date is the procedure 'GETARG'. GETARG is a procedure for getting command line arguments. For example, if it were used in a program called DUMMY, then invoking the program by typing: DUMMY NAME1 NAME2 will result in the procedure getarg returning NAME1 and NAME2. It also returns the number of arguments ( up to 2). For example, in the above case, the number returned would be 2. If the command line were: DUMMY NAME the procedure would return a number of 1 and it would be NAME. Finally, typing in a command line which caontains more than two arguments causes getarg to return a number of 2 and the second returned string would contain all the succeeding arguments. Thus, if the command line were: DUMMY NAME1 NAME2 NAME3 NAME4 it would return NAME1 as the first string and NAME2 NAME3 NAME4 as the second. The source code could, of course, be modified to separate out more than two arguments. I first saw the technique used in this procedure in an article in S-100 Microsystems by two Gilbreath's. J.A.
