| Argument values | Argument counts | Program name / Script name | |
|---|---|---|---|
| C (C99) | argv | argc | first argument |
| Objective-C | |||
| C++ | |||
| C# | args | args.Length | Assembly.GetEntryAssembly.Location; |
| Java | args.length | ||
| D | first argument | ||
| JavaScript |
WScript.Arguments(n) | WScript.Arguments.length | WScript.ScriptName or WScript.ScriptFullName |
| Go | os.Args | len(os.Args) | first argument |
| Common Lisp | ? | ? | ? |
| Scheme (R6RS) | (list-ref (command-line) n) | (length (command-line)) | first argument |
| ISLISP | |||
| Pascal | ParamStr(n) | ParamCount | first argument |
| Visual Basic | Command | App.Path | |
| Visual Basic .NET | CmdArgs(n) | CmdArgs.Length | .GetEntryAssembly.Location |
| Python | sys.argv | len(sys.argv) | first argument |
| S-Lang | __argv | __argc | first argument |
| Fortran | DO i = 1,argc CALL GET_COMMAND_ARGUMENT (i,argv(i)) ENDDO | argc = COMMAND_ARGUMENT_COUNT | CALL GET_COMMAND_ARGUMENT (0,progname) |
| PHP | $argv | $argc | first argument |
| Perl | $ARGV | scalar(@ARGV) | $0 |
| Perl 6 | @*ARGS | @*ARGS.elems | $PROGRAM_NAME |
| Ruby | ARGV | ARGV.size | $0 |
| Windows PowerShell | $args | $args.Length | $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Name |
| OCaml | Sys.argv.(n) | Array.length Sys.argv | first argument |
| F# | args. | args.Length | Assembly.GetEntryAssembly.Location |
| Standard ML | List.nth (CommandLine.arguments , n) | length (CommandLine.arguments ) | CommandLine.name |
| Haskell (GHC) | do { args <- System.getArgs; return args !! n } | do { args <- System.getArgs; return length args } | System.getProgName |
- ^a The command-line arguments in Visual Basic are not separated. A split function Split(string) is required for separating them.

Famous quotes containing the words reading and/or arguments:
“Learning is acquired by reading books; but the much more necessary learning, the knowledge of the world, is only to be acquired by reading men, and studying all the various editions of them.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Children are intensely invested in getting their way. They will devote more emotional and intellectual energy to winning arguments than parents ever will, and are almost always better rested.”
—Jean Callahan (20th century)
