The name of the process is in argv[0]. The process id may be found using the getpid() system call as follows:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main (int argc, char **argv) {
pid_t p;

p = getpid();
fprintf(stderr, "%s: process id %d\n", argv[0], p);
return 0;
}
Hope it helps!

I was looking for a way to get the process id and then figure out the name of the process... but I nopw realise I do not knowhow to do this, apart from executing a ps command and parsing it out

in my personal opinion launching&parsing

ps -cp <pid> -o command

is the simplest way to do that.
