The ARGS variable is the basic mechanism by which script arguments are exposed, but you may also want to checkout ArgParse.jl <http://argparsejl.readthedocs.org/en/latest/> or DocOpt.jl <https://github.com/docopt/DocOpt.jl> for more systematic ways of handling arguments and options. But often just popping stuff off of ARGS is enough for simple tools.
