I have started rewriting my older software to work with the newer Haiku. At
the same time I have been improving the code and it`s speed.
The first package I have rewritten in my FileFilter program. The new 0.80
version works fine with Haiku-OS but three years ago I ask if it was possible
to make a program work like the FORMAT command did on the Amiga. At the time I
was told no! I am hoping that with all the changes to the source code that
maybe it can be done now.
On the Amiga if you started FORMAT from the CLI you got a CLI program, if
however you double clicked the icon that pointed to the same code you got a GUI
version of the program.
This is the behaviour I would like to emulate.
In Haiku-OS I test how many arguments are passed to the program at start-up.
If the program see more than zero arguments being passed it assumes it is a CLI
program and only runs in the terminal, if the program see no arguments it is
assumed that the program was invoked by the GUI and run with a GUI interface.
The problem if I just enter the program name with no arguments in the CLI
(Terminal) the GUI version is invoked.
Is there any way for a single Haiku-OS program to tell what environment invokes
the program?
