Depends on which implementation you are using. On G95 (taken from the G77 manual), it has

10.11.9.133 IArgC Intrinsic

IArgC()

IArgC: INTEGER(KIND=1) function.

Intrinsic groups: unix.

Description:

Returns the number of command-line arguments.

This count does not include the specification of the program name itself.

10.11.9.118 GetArg Intrinsic

CALL GetArg(Pos, Value)

Pos: INTEGER; scalar; INTENT(IN).

Value: CHARACTER; scalar; INTENT(OUT).

Intrinsic groups: unix.

Description:

Sets Value to the Pos-th command-line argument (or to all blanks if there are fewer than Value command-line arguments); CALL GETARG(0, value) sets value to the name of the program (on systems that support this feature).
