Description

The variable *line-arguments-list* contains a list of strings. These are the arguments with which LispWorks was called, in the same order. The first element is the executable itself.

You can implement command line processing in your application by testing elements in *line-arguments-list*. Use a string comparison function such as string= to compare them.

For a description of the command line arguments processed by LispWorks, see 27.4 The Command Line.
