.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||||
.nf
|
||||
.B #define _GNU_SOURCE
|

.B #include <errno.h>

|

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
.I program_invocation_name
|
||||
contains the name that was used to invoke the calling program.
|
||||
This is the same as the value of
|
||||
.I argv[0]
|
||||
in
|
||||
.IR main (),
|
||||
with the difference that the scope of
|
||||
.I program_invocation_name
|
||||
is global.
|
||||
|
||||
.I 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
|
||||
.IR program_invocation_name ,
|
||||
with all text up to and including the final slash (/), if any, removed.
|
||||
|
||||
These variables automatically initialised by the glibc run-time
|
||||
startup code.
|
||||
.SH NOTES
|
||||
The Linux-specific
|
||||
.I /proc/[number]/cmdline
|
||||
file provides access to similar information.
|
||||
.SH "CONFORMING TO"
|
||||
These variables are GNU extensions, and should not be
|
||||
used in programs intended to be portable.
