Function

GLibget_prgname

Declaration

const gchar*
g_get_prgname (
  void
)

Description

Gets the name of the program. This name should not be localized, in contrast to g_get_application_name().

If you are using GApplication the program name is set in g_application_run(). In case of GDK or GTK it is set in gdk_init(), which is called by gtk_init() and the GtkApplication::startup handler. The program name is found by taking the last component of argv[0].

Return value

Type: const gchar*

The name of the program, or NULL if it has not been set yet. The returned string belongs to GLib and must not be modified or freed.

The data is owned by the called function.

The return value can be NULL.

The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
