dtrace discuss - Nov 2008 - Passing arguments to program started by dtrace?

Hi all,

I''m trying to run dtrace -c on a program that takes command-line
arguments... is there any way to tell dtrace where its args let off and the
target''s begin, or will I have to write a shell script that checks for
''--'' or some such?

Thanks,
Ryan
