I think the name of the current executable is stored in myself->progname
within cygwin1.dll.
The more easily accessible __progname returns the basename of the
executable.
Is there a way for an application to obtain myself->program, other
than resorting to raw win32 call to GetModuleFileName()?
argv[0] or __argv[0] or /proc/self/exename
Has this link been renamed? It appears to have changed to
/proc/self/exe now, which has broken a lot of my programs...
The old exename was a file containing the path, the new exe is a symlink
pointing to the binary. This is how it's done on Linux.
Maybe exename should be kept for backwards compatibility?
