interactive

I wish to do

 lua prog.lua arg1 arg2

from the command line

Inside prog.lua, I want to say, for instance

print (arg1, arg2, '\n')

Lua doesn't seem to have argv[1] etc and the methods I've seen for dealing with command line arguments seem to be immature and / or cumbersome. Am I missing something?
