ARGV (json)

Array of the command name and parameters within a given scope

Description

ARGV returns an array of the command name and parameters within a given scope. eg function, private, autocomplete or shell script.

Unlike $PARAMS, $ARGV includes the function name.

This is a reserved variable so it cannot be changed.

Examples

» function example { $ARGV }
» example abc 1 2 3
[
    "example",
    "abc",
    "1",
    "2",
    "3"
]

Detail

Deprecation of ARGS

In Murex versions 4.x and below, this variable was named ARGS (with an 'S'). However in Murex 5.x and above it was renamed to ARGV (with a 'V') to unify the name with other languages.

ARGS will remain available for compatibility reasons but is considered deprecated and may be removed from future releases.

Synonyms

• argv
• ARGV
