Package: libc6
Version: 2.7-12
Severity: wishlist
The source above will display argv[0], while one could expect the full
path for the executable to be shown. It is particularly annoying when
the program is run from $PATH, since argv[0] doesn't contain any path,
then.
I guess the information is available somewhere, at least, since
/proc/self/maps shows the full executable path.
/proc/self/exe also points to the executable, but iirc, there are cases
where it is not reliable.
