Hello,

> getFullProgName :: IO String
> getFullProgName =

> alloca $ \ p_argv -> do
> getFullProgArgv p_argc p_argv
> peek p_argv >>= peek >>= peekCString
>
> foreign import ccall unsafe "getFullProgArgv"
> getFullProgArgv :: Ptr CInt -> Ptr (Ptr CString) -> IO ()
+1
P.S.
I would also like to have an API to change the process name for
daemon.
