.BSET creates an external vector named ".argtype" which contains an entry corresponding to each entry in "argv". The entries of ".argtype" contain a code character which indicates the type of the corresponding argument in "argv". The possible arguments types are
argv[n] .argtype[n] string ' ' "quoted string" '"' 'also quoted' '*'' -option '-' +option '+' 123 '0' -123 '-0' +123 '+0' word=value '=' word="some string" '=' <file '<' >file '>' >>file '>>'
The last three argument types are never encountered unless you have set the external variable ".process" to zero.
