The executable's path name is needed for several purposes in
Tcl. For example, it is needed on some platforms in the
implementation of the \fBload\fR command.
It is also returned by the \fBinfo nameofexecutable\fR command.
.PP
On UNIX platforms this procedure is typically invoked as the very
first thing in the application's main program; it must be passed
\fIargv[0]\fR as its argument. \fBTcl_FindExecutable\fR uses \fIargv0\fR

.PP
On UNIX platforms this procedure is typically invoked as the very
first thing in the application's main program; it must be passed
\fIargv[0]\fR as its argument. It is important not to change the
working directory before the invocation.
\fBTcl_FindExecutable\fR uses \fIargv0\fR
along with the \fBPATH\fR environment variable to find the
application's executable, if possible. If it fails to find
the binary, then future calls to \fBinfo nameofexecutable\fR
will return an empty string.
.PP
\fBTcl_GetNameOfExecutable\fR simply returns a pointer to the
internal full path name of the executable file as computed by
