Question

How can I get the command line arguments in (specifically in GNU, if there are any differences) Common Lisp?

Answer 1

I’m assuming that you are scripting with CLisp. You can create a file containing

#! /usr/local/bin/clisp
(format t "~&~S~&" *args*)

Make it executable by running

$ chmod 755 <filename>

Running it gives

$ ./<filename>
NIL
$ ./<filename> a b c
("a" "b" "c")
$ ./<filename> "a b c" 1 2 3
("a b c" "1" "2" "3")
