In most languages, we have access to an array or list called ARGV or similar. Where its first element is usually the actuall command that was used to invoke the script/program.
Is there something similar in elixir?
When building an escript the argv’s are passed into the initial function (CLIModule.main/1)
Well, given a C program foo, argv[0] is foo when started as foo, when started as /home/nobb/foo it will contain exactly that value. I’m searching for this bit of information inside my escript, I want to know how exactly my script was called.
:escript.script_name() maybe? Just guessing based on the escript docs.
