It probably varies with the flavor of unix.  On a Sun, you have:

GETARG(3F)          FORTRAN LIBRARY ROUTINES           GETARG(3F)
 
NAME
     getarg, iargc - get the kth command line argument
 
SYNOPSIS
     subroutine getarg ( k, arg )
     character*(*) arg
 
     function iargc ()
 
DESCRIPTION
     The statement call getarg( k  ,  arg  )  will  get  the  kth
     command-line argument and put it into arg .
 
     The 0th argument is the command name.
 
     The function iargc returns the index of  the  last  command-
     line argument,
     and therefore the number  of  arguments  after  the  command
     name.
