Description

For a code such as

PROGRAM test_getarg
  implicit none
  INTEGER :: i
  CHARACTER(len=32) :: arg
  DO i = 1, iargc()
    CALL getarg(i, arg)
    WRITE (*,*) arg
  END DO
END PROGRAM test_getarg

from the gfortran documentation, Fortitude could suggest that iargc and getarg be replaced by command_argument_count and get_command_argument.
