Ulm's Modula-2 Library:
ARGC

NAME

ARGC, ARGV - get command line arguments

PROCEDURE ARGC() : CARDINAL;
PROCEDURE ARGV(VAR buffer: ARRAY OF CHAR; argindex: CARDINAL);

These procedures belong to the standard procedures and needn't to be imported.

ARGC returns the number of command line arguments (incl. command name).

ARGV stores a single command line argument addressed by argindex (ranging from 0 to ARGC()-1) into buffer.

Note that these procedures are inherently inportable and that Arguments should be used instead.

ARGC and ARGV should have been put into SYSTEM.
