[cs631apue] starting functions in GNU Linux mian()

[xxu15 at stevens.edu]

"setprogname can maximum program's portability."  What do you mean by this?
If the program is invoked directly, the process name will be argv[0],  even if not, why necessary to do  set_program_name (argv[0]) ?
why it is necessary to invoke "bindtextdomain (PACKAGE, LOCALEDIR);" and  "textdomain (PACKAGE);" ?

setprogname can maximum program's portability.
But GNU use macro to define the program name.
