NAME

     getbootfile -- get the name of the booted kernel file


LIBRARY

SYNOPSIS

     #include <util.h>

     getbootfile(void);


DESCRIPTION

     getbootfile() returns a static pointer to the full path name of the file
     from which the current kernel was loaded.  If it can not be determined,
     or the file is not ``secure'' (see secure_path(3)), _PATH_UNIX from
     <paths.h> is returned instead.
