In the main fonction,the argv[0] is the executable path, you can theck it as below:

int main(int argc,char ** argv){
    printf("s%",argv[0]);
    return 0;
}

I guess he rather wants to know where an executable for a specific package is. (A program in package A wants to find out where a specific program in package B is located)

@FooBar Correct. I want it to start it with my program.
