NAME         top

       function::cmdline_args - Fetch command line arguments from current
       process

SYNOPSIS         top

           cmdline_args:string(n:long,m:long,delim:string)

ARGUMENTS         top

       n
           First argument to get (zero is normally the program itself)

       m
           Last argument to get (or minus one for all arguments after n)

       delim
           String to use to separate arguments when more than one.

DESCRIPTION         top

       Returns arguments from the current process starting with argument
       number n, up to argument m. If there are less than n arguments, or
       the arguments cannot be retrieved from the current process, the
       empty string is returned. If m is smaller than n then all
       arguments starting from argument n are returned. Argument zero is
       traditionally the command itself.
