; Scan a group of arguments that are in BASIC's input-buffer.
; Build an array that points to the beginning of each argument.
; Send, to main(), that array and the count of the arguments.

; Command-lines look like these lines:
;
; call2051
; call2051 : rem
; call2051:rem arg1 " arg 2 is quoted "  arg3 "" arg5
;
; "call" and "rem" are entokenned; the args. are not. Leading and trailing
; spaces outside of quotes are ignored.

; TO-DO:
; Add a control-character quoting mechanism.

; ProDOS stores the filename in the second half of BASIC's input buffer, so
; there are 128 characters left. At least 7 characters are necessary for the

; filename. As we don't want to put further restrictions on the command-line
; length we reserve those 121 characters terminated by a zero.

; If a clock is present it is called by ProDOS on file operations. On machines
; with a slot-based clock (like the Thunder Clock) the clock firmware places
; the current date in BASIC's input buffer. Therefore we have to create a copy
; of the command-line in a different buffer before the original is potentially
; destroyed.

        ldy     #$01 * 2        ; Start with argv[1]

; Find the next argument. Stop if the end of the string or a character with the
; hibit set is reached. The later is true if the string isn't already parsed by
; BASIC (as expected) but is a still unprocessed input string. In this case the
; string isn't the expected command-line at all. We found this out the hard way
; by BRUNing the program with ProDOS on a machine with a slot-based clock (like
; the Thunder Clock). ProDOS called the clock firmware which places the current
; date as BASIC input string with hibits set in the input buffer. While looking
; for the REM token we stumbled across the first '2' character ($32+$80 = $B2)
; and interpreted the rest of the date as a spurious command-line parameter.
