Hello All,
Is there an easy method to retrieve the process name of 'this' instance of
Emacs, via a lisp expression?

,----[ C-h f emacs-pid RET ]
| emacs-pid is a built-in function.
| (emacs-pid)

| Return the process ID of Emacs, as an integer.

Thanks Kevin.  Actually, I'm running GNU Emacs 21.3.2 (sparc-sun-solaris2.8,
X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) from Windows, but when I bring up Sun's Forte
Debugger (workshop), Sun has integrated the debugger into Xemacs, and I
simply want the ability to load/~load various features, as they both use the
same init file.  I'll probably just use the emacs-build-system or
emacs-version.

It is not clear to me what you mean by ``the process name''.  Can you
clarify?

One possibility is (car command-line-args), but I'm not sure if that's
what you want.

You'll probably be yet better off checking (fboundp '<foo>) and (featurep
'<bar>) and (boundp '<baz>) and things like that.

But you'll have to tell us more if you want a more complete answer.

The actual name from the process table, specifically, I want to
differentiate between 'xemacs' vs. 'emacs'.  Thanks.

    (message "it's XEmacs")
  (message "it's Emacs"))

,----[ C-h v invocation-name RET ]
| invocation-name's value is "emacs"
