get_executable_name(3) Allegro manual get_executable_name(3)NAMEget_executable_name - Obtains the full path to the current executable.
Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
void get_executable_name(char *buf, int size);
DESCRIPTION
Fills `buf' with the full path to the current executable, writing at
most `size' bytes. This generally comes from `argv[0]' but on Unix
systems it tries to get the information from the `/proc' filesystem
first, searching the directories specified in `$PATH' if necessary. If
this fails too, it tries to find the executable name from the output of
the `ps' command, using `argv[0]' only as a last resort if all other
options fail. Example:
char name[200];
...
get_executable_name(name, sizeof(name));
allegro_message("Running `%s'\n", name);
