# args

Read arguments supplied when starting a script.

```js
args
```

## Arguments

No arguments.

## Returns

Frozen object with string values and no prototype. Also at.args.

## Example

```js
const limit = Number(args.limit || "5");
if (!Number.isInteger(limit) || limit < 1 || limit > 20) throw new Error("Invalid limit");
```

## Notes

A runtime property, not a function. Module state is separate for each script iteration.
