It's actually possible to do this without Foundation or C_ARGV and C_ARGC.

The Swift standard library contains a struct CommandLine which has a collection of Strings called arguments. So you could switch on arguments like this:

for argument in CommandLine.arguments {
    switch argument {
    case "arg1":
        print("first argument")

    case "arg2":
        print("second argument")

    default:
        print("an argument")
    }
}
