<strong>kern_return_t   bootstrap_arguments</strong>
                <strong>(mach_port_t</strong>                          <var>bootstrap</var>,
                 <strong>task_t</strong>                                    <var>task</var>,
                 <strong>pointer_t</strong>                            <var>pointer_t</var>,

</pre>
<h3>PARAMETERS</h3>
<dl>
<p>
<dt> <var>bootstrap</var> 
<dd>
[in bootstrap send right]
The bootstrap port for the task, obtained from 
<strong>task_get_special_ports</strong>.
<p>
<dt> <var>task</var> 
<dd>
[in task send right]
The task port for the task whose argument strings are requested.
<p>
<dt> <var>arguments</var> 
<dd>
[pointer to dynamic out array of characters]
The argument strings for the task. This is an array of 
<var>argumentCnt</var> bytes, containing NUL characters
separating the strings.
<p>
<dt> <var>argumentsCnt</var> 
<dd>
[out pointer to scalar]
Number of bytes contained in <var>arguments</var>.

<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
<p>
The kernel will respond to the bootstrap task (task 1) with the
arguments and environment specified to the boot loader. The bootstrap
task can act as a server on this interface for the tasks that it
creates in order to pass arguments to them. The <strong>libsa_mach.a</strong>
standalone Mach C runtime startup code uses <strong>bootstrap_arguments</strong> and
<strong>bootstrap_environment</strong> to initialize <var>argc</var>, <var>argv</var>, 
and <var>envp</var> for <strong>main</strong>.
<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3>
<p>
Only generic errors apply.
