Hi,
Using the Proc structure, is there a way to get the information of the
app's name, including the directory it is in?
Like /Applications/TextEdit.app/contents/MacOS/TextEdit ?
No. The proc structure contains a (possibly shortened) command name,
but not the directory path. It also contains a pointer to the vnode
for the executable. You could use that to work backwards to get "a"
path to the executable. There really is no way to know what path was
used (because of links, symbolic or hard).
What are you trying to do?
Regards,
Justin
