Can I pass commandline arguments when invoking "zig build run"?

I'm just starting with the new programming language Zig and finding documentation pretty sparse.

I can build and run the current project by invoking zig build run.

I can also do zig run src/main.zig assuming standard project layout.

But in neither case can I find a way to pass along commandline arguments to my project.

I know that after building I can invoke my project as a binary as zig-out/bin/<my project's name> foo bar but is there a way to do it straight from build run?

Just trying the obvious zig build run foo bar tells me Cannot run step 'foo' because it does not exist.

None of the commandline switches for zig itself seem to do what I want and I can't find anyone discussing this by Googling for it.

just pass your arguments after -- (zig build run -- <args>) e.g:

zig build run -- foo bar
