A is assigned to $1, and B is $2 as same ... due to set command (see Positional parameters). Finally, $N variables can be refered by -c.

Off-course, it works under the Pipe mode.

echo A B C | xpanes -c 'printf "%s,%s,%s\n" $1 $2 $3'

Result:

    +-------------------------------+
    │$ printf "%s,%s,%s\n" $1 $2 $3 │
    │A,B,C                          │
