I don't think this is guaranteed to work. See top answer here [1] (which cites the standard). Also, note that the man page for exec and friends notes that the first argument *by convention* is the name of the executable.
That's right. argv[0] could be anything, including "my hair is on fire". In this sense getFullProgName is as incorrect/correct as getProgName. In practice it will be the program name and then getFullProgName can be used to do useful work, other than printing the program base name, unlike getProgName. :) -- Johan
