[comp.unix.questions] finding pathnames

bagchi@eecs.umich.edu (Ranjan Bagchi) (01/04/91)

	According to FAQ, the only way for a program to find it's pathname
is to check out argv[0].  Is there no other way?  It would be nice
(i.e. something I'm working on would like it) if a function call could
determine the pathname of the executable it's called from.
