The argument vector is the list of arguments passed to the program when it is run. It is available as Bun.argv.

console.log(Bun.argv);
Running this file with arguments results in the following:
terminal
bun run cli.ts --flag1 --flag2 value

[ '/path/to/bun', '/path/to/cli.ts', '--flag1', '--flag2', 'value' ]
To parse argv into a more useful format, util.parseArgs would be helpful. Example:
https://mintcdn.com/bun-1dd33a4e/Hq64iapoQXHbYMEN/icons/typescript.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=Hq64iapoQXHbYMEN&q=85&s=c6cceedec8f82d2cc803d7c6ec82b240cli.ts
import { parseArgs } from "util";

const { values, positionals } = parseArgs({
  args: Bun.argv,
  options: {
    flag1: {
      type: "boolean",
    },
    flag2: {
      type: "string",
    },
  },
  strict: true,
  allowPositionals: true,
});

console.log(values);
console.log(positionals);
then it outputs
terminal
bun run cli.ts --flag1 --flag2 value

{
  flag1: true,
  flag2: "value",
}
[ "/path/to/bun", "/path/to/cli.ts" ]
