ARGS (ARGUMENTS) -- Echo command line arguments.
usage:  ARGS (string ...)


FORMAT

  ARGS string ...


  ARGS writes its arguments, one per line, to standard output.  Use it to
  write to files by redirecting output into a file with the  ">pathname"
  expression. The ARGS program is useful for inserting messages and
  diagnostics to be reported to the display into Shell scripts and for
  inserting lines of text into files.


ARGUMENTS

  string
  (required)   Specify the string of characters to be written to standard
               output.  Separate strings with blanks; strings are written
               one per line. To write phrases containing literal blanks,
               enclose strings in quotes.

EXAMPLES

  1. $ args Hi there
     Hi
     there
     $

  2. $ args "Hi there" "Mary"
     Hi there
     Mary
     $
