I'm needing to find a way to get the path to where the actual executable file resides using POSIX apis. For example:

foo is located at /usr/bin/foo

when I execute foo, I want it to print /usr/bin/foo no matter what directory I'm in.

I don't want to have to construct it from argv[0] with the cwd.

after looking around, I'm beginning to think that this isn't possible. Any suggestions? please cc me directly.

AFAIK, There is no POSIX API to do that. You're out of luck.
