set_prgname

Description:

[ CCode ( cname = "g_set_prgname" ) ]
public void set_prgname (string application_name)

Sets the name of the program.

This name should not be localized, in contrast to set_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. By default, the program name is found by taking the last component of argv[0].

Since GLib 2.72, this function can be called multiple times and is fully thread safe. Prior to GLib 2.72, this function could only be called once per process.

See the GTK documentation for requirements on integrating set_prgname with GTK applications.

Parameters:

prgname

the name of the program.

Namespace: GLib.Environment
