Would you consider adding this well-known BSD symbol too?
extern char * __progname;
Or would you consider that out of scope? Here's a CR for it:
6735446 Want a __progname symbol for BSD-style source compatibility
Not out-of-scope at all.
Consider the __progname global variable added to this case.
Also, these functions from FreeBSD are added to the case:
#include <stdlib.h>
const char *
getprogname(void);
void
setprogname(const char *progname);
Following FreeBSD's lead, the __progname variable,
even though it will exist, will not be declared in any header file,
and it will be versioned as SUNWprivate_1.1
Applications that want to use it will have to declare it themselves.
FreeBSD encourages the use of getprogname() rather than
directly referencing __progname. Solaris will do the same.
