process_path is a crate that makes it easy to get the path of the currently executing process.

you have until I get back from vacation ;)
The library currently provides one function:
pub fn get_executable_path() -> Option<PathBuf>;
The library uses various platform specific APIs to find the appropriate path rather than relying on argv[0] and supports the following platforms:
| Platform | Underlying API |
|---|---|
| Linux | readlink(/proc/self/exe) |
| macOS | _NSGetExecutablePath() |
| Windows | GetModuleFileName() |
process_path is available on crates.io.
