Standard C Library Functions                      getprogname(3C)



NAME
     getprogname, setprogname - get or set the program name

SYNOPSIS
     #include 

     const char *getprogname(void);


     void setprogname(const char *progname);


DESCRIPTION
     The getprogname() function returns the name of the  program.
     If the name has not yet been set, it returns NULL.


     The setprogname() function sets the name of the  program  to
     be  the  last  component  of  the progname argument. Since a
     pointer to the given string is kept as the program name,  it
     should not be modified for the duration of the program.


     These functions are used by error-reporting routines to pro-
     duce consistent output.
