argv minus one<p>Fun fact: a <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/font" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>font</span></a> is considered by some to be a kind of computer program.</p><p>It kinda makes sense. A font is a list of glyphs, each of which is a list of strokes that make up the glyph, which could be thought of as instructions for the computer to execute in order to draw the glyph on a screen or printer, i.e. a computer program that draws graphics.</p><p>A font is only ever used by other programs, though, so if we are to think of it as a kind of code, then it's more like a library than a program.</p>
