When a transient command is run from a filing system OSARGS 1,0 can be
used to find the command line parameters. This command line is always stored
in the I/O processor. Transient commands usually run in the I/O processor so
they can read the command line parameters directly using code such as
LDA (zp),Y:
\ lptr = address in zero page to point to command line parameters \ Note, four bytes are read, so lptr+2 and lptr+3 are overwritten LDA #1:LDY #0:LDX #lptr:JSR OSARGS :\ Read address of command line parameters \ (lptr),Y now points to the start of the command's parameters
However, if a transient command is written to run in the language processor it must copy the command line to local memory, or scan it character by character over the Tube. The following code fragments copy the command line parameters to local memory. Note that this method only works with code that is run from a file, running code selected with a ROM command needs a different method as OSARGS points to the last file run, not the last command issued.

ARM
There is difficulty with ARM systems. The canonical method is to use SWI "OS_GetEnv", but OS_GetEnv returns inconsistant results on different ARM platforms. RISC OS and the ARM Development System return R0=>command line, but the Sprow CoPro returns R0=>"GO". Additionally, only RISC OS parses "*RUN filename parameters" correctly.
The following code will read the command line parameters to local memory on RISC OS, the ARM Development System, the Sprow ARM CoPro and the PiTube Native ARM CoPro.

BASIC
If the transient command is written in BASIC, the command line is already in local memory due to it being used by BASIC to load the program, and is collectable with the FNOS_GetEnv function in the ProgEnv program library.
Notes
Some filing systems provide the OSGBPB 9,0 call to copy the command line parameters to local memory.
