args (arguments) -- Echo command line arguments.
usage:   args [-err[out]] string ...



DESCRIPTION
     args writes its arguments, one per line, to standard output unless you
     specify -err.  Use it to write to files by redirecting standard output
     into a file with the >pathname expression. The args command is useful for
     inserting messages and diagnostics to be reported to the display to shell
     scripts and for inserting lines of text into files.

ARGUMENTS
     string (required)
                 Specify the string of characters to be written.  Multiple
                 strings are permitted; separate strings with blanks.  Strings
                 are written one per line. To write phrases containing literal
                 blanks, enclose strings in quotation marks.

OPTIONS
     -err[out]   Write the string(s) to error output instead of to standard
                 output.  This option is useful for writing to the transcript
                 pad (where error output is usually directed) from an args
                 command inside a pipeline, since standard output is then
                 connected to the pipe.

EXAMPLES
     $ args Hi there
     Hi
     there
     $

     $ args "Hi there" "Mary"
     Hi there
     Mary
     $


     Write "Hi there, Mary." into the file my_file in the current working
     directory.

     $ args "Hi there, Mary." >my_file
