C, C++ で実行時に自身のプロセス名を取得する方法まとめ

get_process_name.cpp

# include <iostream>
# include <cstdlib>
# include <errno.h>

extern char *__progname;

int main(int argc, char const* argv[])
{
        // argv[0]
        std::cout << "argv[0] : " << argv[0] << std::endl;

        // linux environment
        std::cout << "getenv(\"_\") : " << getenv("_") << std::endl;

        // libc
        std::cout << "__progname : " << __progname << std::endl;

        // errno.h
        std::cout << "program_invocation_name : " << program_invocation_name << std::endl;
        std::cout << "program_invocation_short_name : " << program_invocation_short_name << std::endl;

        return 0;
}

実行例

/tmp$ g++ get_process_name.cpp -o hoge && ./hoge
argv[0] : ./hoge
getenv("_") : ./hoge
__progname : hoge
program_invocation_name : ./hoge
program_invocation_short_name : hoge

/tmp$ g++ get_process_name.cpp -o hoge && $PWD/hoge
argv[0] : /tmp/hoge
getenv("_") : /tmp/hoge
__progname : hoge
program_invocation_name : /tmp/hoge
program_invocation_short_name : hoge
