   Remember that, on *nix systems, the contents of argv are arbitrary and   
   caller-specified. And none of them need bear any relation to the   
   actual filename of the invoked executable.   
      
   In fact, it is quite common for utilities to behave differently based   
   on the name, as passed in argv[0], by which they are invoked.
