arguments

The command arguments that the system uses to launch the executable.

Declaration

var arguments: [String]? { get set }

Parameters

  • arguments:

    An array of NSString objects that supplies the arguments to the task. If arguments is nil, the system raises an NSInvalidArgumentException.

Discussion

The NSTask object converts both path and the strings in arguments to appropriate C-style strings (using fileSystemRepresentation) before passing them to the task through argv[]. The strings in arguments don’t undergo shell expansion, so you don’t need to do special quoting, and shell variables, such as $PWD, aren’t resolved.
