In C, argv[0] normally contains the name of the program being run, as the user gave it on the command line. So, if the user runs "/usr/bin/xfreerdp -a 32 ...", you get the following: argv[0] = "/usr/bin/xfreerdp" argv[1] = "-a" argv[2] = "32" ... On Linux, it is technically possible to pass any arbitrary string in argv[0] since exec takes the path to the program as a separate argument. However, the user would have to go out of their way to do that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EMC VNX: the world's simplest storage, starting under $10K The only unified storage solution that offers unified management Up to 160% more powerful than alternatives and 25% more efficient.
