Usually it looks like this:

extern char *__progname;

'extern' means __progname must be available to external objects, so in
code with main():

#include <stdio.h>

char *__progname;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        __progname = argv[0];
        printf("%s\n", __progname);
        return 0;
}

what you think? It works for me... so why basename(argv[0])?
