Arguments

argc | Number of program parameters

Further information
1. This function calls XNLSinit, it is therefore not necessary to initialise the library when using this routine.
2. Under Windows the arguments including wildcard characters are expanded (on Posix systems this is done by the shell). As a consequence the number of arguments argc may be increased by the call.
