+# SYNOPSIS
+
+args ARGUMENT ...
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+**args** separately prints to standard output each argument it receives with its position.
+
+The intended use of this tool is to help understand word splitting and quote removal by the shell.
+
+Each argument prints one line of output in the following format.
+
+```
+    @[POSITION]    [ARGUMENT]
+```
+
+The two fields are separated by a single tab character.
+
+In case an empty string is received as an argument, it is represented as follows
+for clarity. These quotes are not the actual input. Quotes would normally be removed by
+the shell before the command's execution.
+
+```
+    @1      ''
+```
+
+# EXAMPLE
+
+```console
+$ args one two "" "word with spaces" $(echo substituted command)
+@1      one
+@2      two
+@3      ''
+@4      word with spaces
+@5      substituted
+@6      command
+```
+
+If @5 and @6 surprised you, finding cases like these and playing around is the exact
+reason this tool exists.
