Printing the path for a currently executing programme

Hello:

I'm trying to find a way to print the (full) path of the currently executing programme.

Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers,

Tim

I believe it could be found somewhere in /proc.
If you have KDE, the KDE system Guard's process table seems to know, too.

Ok, but is there anyway to get the information with a system call?

Thanks
