+Conditioning on the executable name
+-----------------------------------
+
+For now, the executable name (the value passed to the driver in ``argv[0]``) is
+accessible only in the C++ code (i.e. hooks). Use the following code::
+
+ namespace llvmc {
+ extern const char* ProgramName;
+ }
+
+ std::string MyHook() {
+ //...
+ if (strcmp(ProgramName, "mydriver") == 0) {
+ //...
+
+ }
+
+In general, you're encouraged not to make the behaviour dependent on the
+executable file name, and use command-line switches instead. See for example how
+the ``Base`` plugin behaves when it needs to choose the correct linker options
+(think ``g++`` vs. ``gcc``).
