That's going to depend on the fortran compiler, not upon C.
comp.lang.fortran would be the appropriate newsgroup.

Obviously it is better to ask Fortran questions in a Fortran newsgroup.
People when posting in comp.lang.c should not be expected to have
answers which are as reliable about Fortran as those in a Fortran newsgroup.

Fortran does not standardly include the ability to inspect the command
line. However, many implementations provide non-standard functions with
names like GETARG, GET_COMMAND, GET_COMMAND_ARGUMENT, and
COMMAND_ARGUMENT_COUNT. Check your implementation for details.

For handling objects of type CHAR(*), check your Fortran text for the
standard functions. You might want to look up "array assignment" in the
index; '=' may be all you need.

As of 'F03' (actually adopted in 2004), it does. (Many probably most
implementations also still provide their former extensions.)

This is frequently discussed on comp.lang.fortran, which indeed is the
better place for Fortran questions. And FORTRAN ones. (And the

No but yes. Fortran character string types -- CHARACTER(len) and in
limited cases CHARACTER(*) -- are not actually the same type as array
of character, as they are in C (and Pascal and Ada), though they are
represented that way internally. But intrinsic (builtin) assignment
(=) applies both to strings and most arrays including of characters.

Also note Fortran (builtin, un-F03-allocable) strings are fixed-length
blank-padded, not variable null-terminated as in C. Thus a number of
operations and idioms are different -- not necessarily better or
worse, just different -- and there's a (more serious) headache when
interfacing between the two languages (or others with similar issues).
