Re: [Haskell-cafe] How to get a file path to the program invoked?

Hi, When my program starts it needs to know a complete path to the directory from which it was invoked. In terms of standard shell (sh) I need the Haskell function that will do equivalent to:

#!/bin/sh path=$(dirname $0)

How to get this path in Haskell?

getProgName :: IO String defined System.Environment only returns a file name of the program without its full path.

Thanks!

(which is argv[0], and surely it's not always the “complete path to the directory from which it was invoked”. $0 is not either.) -- lelf xmpp:nik_n@jabber.ru
