1、 Linux修改进程名称简介
c语言程序运行时,进程的名称通常就是argv[0],修改进程名称就是修改内存中argv[0]存储的内容。下面介绍nginx修改进程名称的方法。
2、C程序命令行参数(argc, argv)介绍
每个C语言程序都必须有一个称为main()的函数,作为程序启动的起点。当执行程序时,命令行参数通过两个入参提供给main()函数。第一个参数int argc,表示命令行参数的个数。第二个参数char *argv[],是一个指向命令行参数的指针数组,每一参数又都是以空字符(null)结尾的字符串。第一个字符串,亦即argv[0]指向的,(通常)是该程序的名称。argv中的指针列表以NULL指针结尾(即argv[argc]为NULL)。如下图所示:
3、C程序环境变量environ介绍
每一个进程都有与其相关的称之为环境列表(environment list)的字符串数组。其中每个字符串都以名称=值(name=value)形式定义。新进程在创建时,会继承其父进程的环境副本,子进程创建后,父、子进程均可更改各自的环境变量,且这些变更对对方而言不再可见。
C语言程序中,可以使用全局变量char **environ访问环境列表。(C运行时启动代码定义了该变量并以环境列表位置为其赋值。)environ与argv参数类似,指向一个以NULL结尾的指针列表,每个指针又指向一个以空字符终止的字符串。下图所示为environ在内存中的存储:
argv和environ数组,以及这些参数最初指向的字符串,都驻留在进程栈之上的一个单一、连续的内存区域。
4、nginx修改进程名称方法
nginx首先将命令行参数解析并保存,然后malloc开辟出新内存,将environ复制到新开辟的内存中,然后将environ指向新开辟的内存。这么做的目的有两个:1、保存经进程原有的environ;2、能够接受相对较长的新的进程名称。

/*
* To change the process title in Linux and Solaris we have to set argv[1]
* to NULL and to copy the title to the same place where the argv[0] points to.
* However, argv[0] may be too small to hold a new title. Fortunately, Linux
* and Solaris store argv[] and environ[] one after another. So we should
* ensure that is the continuous memory and then we allocate the new memory
* for environ[] and copy it. After this we could use the memory starting
* from argv[0] for our process title.
*
* The Solaris's standard /bin/ps does not show the changed process title.
* You have to use "/usr/ucb/ps -w" instead. Besides, the UCB ps does not
* show a new title if its length less than the origin command line length.
* To avoid it we append to a new title the origin command line in the
* parenthesis.
