I dont see the point of getting pd dir since we can run several instances of same bin with the shell.

Ok, I figured out how to do this

and how do you do?

In GNU/Linux on some _distros_ you can check the symlink /proc/self/exe

If you do a readink from within C in Pd you'll get the absolute path and name of the executable.

However, if you use the command "readlink" to [shell] I imagine the readlink binary will look in the mirror and give you its own name back.

I don't think /proc/self/exe is a requirement of all Linux flavors, and I don't know what the BSD OSes do, or OSX.  So I'm reluctant to add this to [pdinfo].

Windows has its own function accessible from C to return the full path and name of the executable.
