That's the CWD

#

First argument in argv is usually the path of the executable

#

if you run the exe from the cwd, they'll always be the same wesmart

#

right, I forgot about that

#

cant you just start the path with a dot and then just use relative paths

#

isnt that how that works

#

. is relative to the CWD
