// argv pointer will be cached so if you call this function again, you can pass

// at startup, and later when a zygote is fork()ed. The later call doesn't have
// easy access to main's argv.

// On non-Mac Unix platforms, we exec ourselves from /proc/self/exe, but that

// show as "exe" instead of "chrome" or something reasonable. This function
// will try to fix it so the "effective" command line shows up instead.
