I pull back my suggestion - I just learned that the counter examples to the "most operating systems" above includes such prominent candidates as Solaris. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Security_Team/html/Defensive_Coding/sect-Defensive_Coding-Tasks-Processes.html#sect-Defensive_Coding-Tasks-Processes-Command_Line_Visibility There also is the suggestion of using special file descriptors whose number is passed on the command line, this might be an extension to the file and stdin suggestion which was discussed elsewhere in this thread.
