Are you sure about that? That seems pretty messed up if that's the case. Yes, the first element in the argument list that main gets is the name of the program, but it's pretty messed up if any of the exec* functions require that you give the program name as the first argument rather than it being appropriately added by that program before its main is called. I'd be very surprised if you were correct about this. - Jonathan M Davis
