13 In Linux we have three ways to determine "process name":
14 1. /proc/PID/stat has "...(name)...", among other things. It's so-called "comm" field.
15 2. /proc/PID/cmdline's first NUL-terminated string. It's argv[0] from exec syscall.
16 3. /proc/PID/exe symlink. Points to the running executable file.
24 comm: first 15 chars of base name
25 (if executable is a symlink, then first 15 chars of symlink name are used)
26 cmdline: argv[0] from exec syscall
27 exe: points to executable (resolves symlink, unlike comm)
29 script (an executable with #!/path/to/interpreter):
30 comm: first 15 chars of script's base name (symlinks are not resolved)
31 cmdline: /path/to/interpreter (symlinks are not resolved)
32 (script name is in argv[1], args are pushed into argv[2] etc)
33 exe: points to interpreter's executable (symlinks are resolved)
35 If FEATURE_PREFER_APPLETS=y (and more so if FEATURE_SH_STANDALONE=y),
36 some commands started from busybox shell, xargs or find are started by
37 execXXX("/proc/self/exe", applet_name, params....)
38 and therefore comm field contains "exe".
