Paramstr

Declaration:

Function Paramstr (L : Longint) : String;

Description:

Paramstr returns the L-th command-line argument. L must be between 0 and Paramcount, these values included. The zeroth argument is the path and file name with which the program was started.

The command-line parameters will be truncated to a length of 255, even though the operating system may support bigger command-lines. The Objpas unit (used in objfpc or delphi mode) define versions of Paramstr which return the full-length command-line arguments.

When the complete command-line must be accessed, the argv pointer should be used to retrieve the real values of the command-line parameters.

Errors:

None.
