program_invocation_name

INVOCATION_NAME(3)					     Linux Programmer's Manual						INVOCATION_NAME(3)

NAME

       program_invocation_name, program_invocation_short_name - obtain name used to invoke calling program

SYNOPSIS

       #define _GNU_SOURCE
       #include <errno.h>

       extern char *program_invocation_name;
       extern char *program_invocation_short_name;

DESCRIPTION

       program_invocation_name contains the name that was used to invoke the calling program.  This is the same as the value of argv[0] in main(),
       with the difference that the scope of program_invocation_name is global.

       program_invocation_short_name contains the basename component of name that was used to invoke the calling program.  That is, it is the same
       value as program_invocation_name, with all text up to and including the final slash (/), if any, removed.

       These variables are automatically initialized by the glibc run-time startup code.

CONFORMING TO

       These variables are GNU extensions, and should not be used in programs intended to be portable.

NOTES

       The Linux-specific /proc/[number]/cmdline file provides access to similar information.

SEE ALSO
