I meant program_invocation_name or whatever ugly thing glibc calls it.
Of course if the goal is to make BSD programs happy, that won't really
help. I really wish somebody would just fix these programs to save
argv[0] themselves if they need it (or to hard-code their own names as
a string literal...) rather than keeping around the historical
practice of poking at implementation internals of the original libc
they used..

Yes, that's the "proper" public names...
