- .th NARGS III 5/10/73
- .sh NAME
- nargs \*- argument count
- .sh SYNOPSIS
- .bd "nargs( )"
- .sh DESCRIPTION
- .it Nargs
- returns the number of actual parameters
- supplied by the caller of the routine which calls
- \fInargs\fR.
- .s3
- The argument count is accurate only when
- none of the actual parameters is
- .it float
- or
- \fIdouble\fR.
- Such parameters count as four arguments instead of one.
- .sh BUGS
- As indicated.
- Also, this routine does not work (and cannot be made
- to work) in programs with separated I and D space.
- Altogether it is best to avoid using this
- routine and depend, for example,
- on passing an explicit argument count.
