+name: Parse command-line arguments
+---
+
+The _argument vector_ is the list of arguments passed to the program when it is run. It is available as `Bun.argv`.
+
+```ts#cli.ts
+console.log(Bun.argv);
+```
+
+---
+
+Running this file with arguments results in the following:
+
+```sh
+$ bun run cli.tsx --flag1 --flag2 value
+[ '/path/to/bun', '/path/to/cli.ts', '--flag1', '--flag2', 'value' ]
+```
+
+---
+
+To parse `argv` into a more useful format, consider using [minimist](https://github.com/minimistjs/minimist) or [commander](https://github.com/tj/commander.js).
