Otherwise meson's find_program() can get confused by the output; now in case of systemd build: meson.build:1059:16: ERROR: Invalid version of program, need 'bpftool' ['>= 5.6.0'] found '01'.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Another bug is assuming that there is argv[0] set here.

We simplify the implementation and fix this by using program_invocation_short_name here. It's non-standard but implemented by at least Glibc and Musl.

That doesn't address this case of argv[0] == NULL. We'd also need to add -D_GNU_SOURCE or similar, so the overall simplification wouldn't be so big.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Upstream accepted a simpler approach of hard-coding the name instead, but I suppose we don't need to care and we'll just get it in some future update – at which point this patch will conflict and get dropped.

Commands "bpftool help" or "bpftool version" use argv[0] to display the
name of the binary. While it is a convenient way to retrieve the string,
it does not always produce the most readable output. For example,
because of the way bpftool is currently packaged on Ubuntu (using a
wrapper script), the command displays the absolute path for the binary:
$ bpftool version | head -n 1
/usr/lib/linux-tools/5.15.0-50-generic/bpftool v5.15.60
More generally, there is no apparent reason for keeping the whole path
and exact binary name in this output. If the user wants to understand
what binary is being called, there are other ways to do so. This commit
replaces argv[0] with "bpftool", to simply reflect what the tool is
called. This is aligned on what "ip" or "tc" do, for example.
As an additional benefit, this seems to help with integration with
Meson for packaging [0].

More generally, there is no apparent reason for keeping the whole path
and exact binary name in this output. If the user wants to understand
what binary is being called, there are other ways to do so. This commit
replaces argv[0] with "bpftool", to simply reflect what the tool is
called. This is aligned on what "ip" or "tc" do, for example.
As an additional benefit, this seems to help with integration with
Meson for packaging [0].

Commands "bpftool help" or "bpftool version" use argv[0] to display the
name of the binary. While it is a convenient way to retrieve the string,
it does not always produce the most readable output. For example,
because of the way bpftool is currently packaged on Ubuntu (using a
wrapper script), the command displays the absolute path for the binary:
$ bpftool version | head -n 1
/usr/lib/linux-tools/5.15.0-50-generic/bpftool v5.15.60

Otherwise meson's find_program() can get confused by the output; now in case of systemd build:
meson.build:1059:16: ERROR: Invalid version of program, need 'bpftool' ['>= 5.6.0'] found '01'.
