Detailed Description

Function Documentation

dpkg_get_progname()

const char * dpkg_get_progname

(

void

)

Get the program name.

The program name might have been set previously by dpkg_set_progname(), but if not this function will try to initialize it by system dependent means, so it's half safe to not call dpkg_set_progname() at all. At worst the function might return NULL in that case.

Returns

A pointer to a static buffer with the program name.
