If you rename /bin/ls to /bin/foo, it should still function the same. It is ok to use the directory part of argv[0] to find associated files for a non-installed program. I will clarify the text about that. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (https://gnu.org, https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
