NAME
     args - manipulate and output command arguments.

SYNOPSIS
     args [options] args...

DESCRIPTION
     This command is used to manipulate and echo command line arguments to stan-
     dard  out.  This can include adding quotes around each argument passed or a
     separator, or to output each argument on  a  separate  line.   The  program
     source also offers a basic example of how to use shell argument parsing and
     localization in ucommon.

OPTIONS
     --delim=char
	    Set  a deliminator character, such as ',', to use between each argu-
	    ment when outputing arguments.

     --directory
	    If argument is a directory, list directory contents as arguments.

     --follow
	    If argument is a directory and a  symlink,	follow	symlinks  recur-
	    sively.

     --lines
	    Output each argument on a separate line.

     --quote=char|pair
	    Set  a  quote  or special leading and trailing pair of characters to
	    surround each argument with when output.  A  typical  use  might  be
	    --quote=() to surround arguments in parenthesis.

     --recursive
	    If	argument is a directory, recursively scan directory and any sub-
	    directory contents as arguments.

     --reverse
	    Reverse order of arguments.

     --help
	    Outputs help screen for the user.
