ARGV
Array
containing command-line arguments passed when launching the calling process.
var execPath = ARGV[ 0 ];
// e.g., returns '/usr/local/bin/node'
Notes
- The first element is the absolute pathname of the executable that started the calling process.
- The second element is the path of the executed file.
- Any additional elements are additional command-line arguments.

Examples
var ARGV = require( '@stdlib/process/argv' );
console.log( ARGV );
