argv and command line
>From HOLSTEGE@CIT-20 Mon Nov  9 20:44:57 1981
For some programs it would be useful to have the unexpanded command line
as the user typed it (after history substitutions for csh users). For example,
programs which wanted to interpret *, ?, ~ in their own way would like
the real line. Find, and TOPS-20 style copy and rename are some candidates.
I suggest that, in order to retain compatibility, argv[-1] or argv[argc] be
used for this purpose.
