C language under Linux to modify the name of the process

This article illustrates how C can change the name of a process on Linux. Share with you for your reference. The details are as follows:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "./util/setproctitle.c"
// extern char **environ;
// int main(int argc , char *argv[])
// {
// int i;
// printf("argc:%dn" , argc);
// for (i = 0; i < argc; ++i){
// printf("0x%xn" , argv[i]);
// printf("argv[%d]:%sn" , i , argv[i]);
// }
// printf("evriron=%xn" , environ[0]);
// return 0;
// }
int main(int argc, char **argv){
 spt_init(argc,argv);
 setproctitle(" Set process name :this is a test");
 sleep(1000);
 return 0;
}
