argv and argc is not really raw data, and on many platforms (like windows) processed.

If you want to use the raw data, you'll need OS specific functions
(getcommandlinew for e.g.  Windows), or, in case of the Unix RTL, the
operatingsystem_parameter_* assembler symbols that convey the registers
loaded by the loader to the RTL.
