args - manipulate and output command arguments.
SYNOPSIS
args [options] args...
DESCRIPTION
This command is used to manipulate and echo command line arguments to standard out. This can include adding quotes around each argument
passed or a separator, or to output each argument on a separate line. The program source also offers a basic example of how to use shell
argument parsing and localization in ucommon.
OPTIONS --delim=char
Set a deliminator character, such as ',', to use between each argument when outputing arguments.
--directory
If argument is a directory, list directory contents as arguments.
--follow
If argument is a directory and a symlink, follow symlinks recursively.
--lines
Output each argument on a separate line.
--quote=char|pair
Set a quote or special leading and trailing pair of characters to surround each argument with when output. A typical use might be
--quote=() to surround arguments in parenthesis.
--recursive
If argument is a directory, recursively scan directory and any subdirectory contents as arguments.
--reverse
Reverse order of arguments.
--help Outputs help screen for the user.

zerofill - clear unused disk space and blank devices.
SYNOPSIS
zerofill [options] [devices] ...
DESCRIPTION
This command is a relative of nullfile. Like nullfile, it can be used to write all unused disk space with '0', thereby making file systems
that are stored on virtual machines easier to pack. In addition, zerofill can fill unused disk space with random data before zeroing,
which can be useful to remove forensic trace of deleted files. Finally, zerofile can be told to operate on and zero (erase) complete disk
devices.
OPTIONS --random=count
Number of passes to use writing random data before wiping data.
--help Outputs help screen for the user.

Suppose there's a process running in background which has many arguments, does anyone know how I can display all the arguments?

Store args passed in array but not the first 2 args.
# bash
declare -a arr=("$@")
s=$(IFS=, eval 'echo "${arr}"')
echo "$s"
output:
sh array.sh 1 2 3 4 5 6
