NAME
       get_executable_name  - Obtains the full path to the current executable.
       Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <allegro.h>

       void get_executable_name(char *buf, int size);

DESCRIPTION
       Fills `buf' with the full path to the current  executable,  writing  at
       most  `size'  bytes.   This  generally comes from `argv[0]' but on Unix
       systems it tries to get the information	from  the  `/proc'  filesystem
       first,  searching the directories specified in `$PATH' if necessary. If
       this fails too, it tries to find the executable name from the output of
       the  `ps'  command,  using `argv[0]' only as a last resort if all other
       options fail. Example:

	  char name[200];
	  ...
	  get_executable_name(name, sizeof(name));
	  allegro_message("Running `%s'\n", name);
