GETCL Subroutine

Description

The GETCL subroutine gets command line arguments.

	
Syntax
            

                GETCL (cl_args)
        

Arguments

cl_args is an INTENT(OUT) scalar of type CHARACTER. It contains any text which is provided when the program is invoked beginning with the first non-white-space character after the program name.

Remarks

If the length of cl_args is not sufficient to hold the entire command line argument, the leftmost characters in the argument are retained up to the length of the character variable

If any run-time arguments are present (-Wl,...), they will be returned by GETCL.

If no command line argument is present, cl_args contains blank characters.

Example
       character(256) :: cl_arg1
       call getcl(cl_arg1)
       write(*,*) len_trim(cl_arg1),trim(cl_arg1)
