It modifies argv[0], e.g.
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
strncpy(argv[0], "Hello, world", strlen(argv[0]));
sleep(1000);
return 0;
}
NB: it's actually a bit more complex; you have to move stuff around to
make space for the string. See the setproctitle() function in the
sendmail source code for the details.
