For a Cocoa application
[[NSBundle mainBundle] executablePath];
will return to path to the currently running executable.
Since there is no bundle for a foundation tool, what's the recommended
approach.
Would I have to roll my own like this?:
const char *
findMyself(int argc, char **argv)
{
cost char *path = getenv(PATH);
if (argv[0][0] == '/') {
// we were called with an absolute path
// so stat ourselves or do other validation then return
return argv[0];
}
// break up path on colons
// then try to access(3) or stat(2) PathComponent/argv[0]
}
Is there some Macos X ism for this which I have not yet discovered?
