---- print-arguments-wrapper.sh version 2.02 ----

When writing complex shell scripts, sometimes you wonder if a particular process is getting the right
arguments and the right environment variables. Just prefix a command with the name of this script,
and it will dump all arguments and environment variables to the console before starting the child process.

Syntax:
  print-arguments-wrapper.sh <options...> command <command arguments...>

Options:
 --help     displays this help text
 --version  displays the tool's version number (currently 2.01)
 --license  prints license information

Usage examples
  ./print-arguments-wrapper.sh echo "test"

Caveat: Some shell magic may be lost in the way. Consider the following example:
   ./print-arguments-wrapper.sh ls -la
Command 'ls' may be actually be an internal shell function or an alias to 'ls --color=auto',
but that will not be taken into consideration any more when using this wrapper script.
For example, the external /bin/echo tool will be executed instead of the shell built-in version.

Exit status: Same as the command executed.

---- program-argument-printer.pl ----

This script is no wrapper (it does not run the command) like print-arguments-wrapper.sh .
It just prints the arguments and all environment variables it received, together with
some other user-account information, and quits.
