(*
   nargs - returns the number of arguments wrapped in, v.
*)

PROCEDURE nargs (v: vararg) : CARDINAL ;


(*
   arg - fills in, a, with the next argument.  The size of, a, must
         be an exact match with the original vararg parameter.
*)

PROCEDURE arg (v: vararg; VAR a: ARRAY OF BYTE) ;


(*
   next - assigns the next arg to be collected as, i.
*)

PROCEDURE next (v: vararg; i: CARDINAL) ;


(*
   copy - returns a copy of, v.

(*
   replace - fills the next argument with, a.  The size of, a,
             must be an exact match with the original vararg
             parameter.

(*
   start1 - wraps up argument, a, into a vararg.
