Title Passing arguments to a shell script
Ref. No. QNX.000009711

Issue How can we pass arguments to a shell script which will be started as ". script arg1 arg2 ..."?


Solution It's not possible to pass arguments to a shell script started this way.  Arguments are passed as the argv and argc for new processes.  But, doing ". script" explicitly does not start a new process, but instead interprets the specified script in the context of the current shell.
