Mike is asking about a program that will return more than just argv[0] re the
name of "what program am I?"  A program named "which" was posted to Usenet back
in November 1987 by Carolyn Scheppner (CATS); didn't see it in my Fish Index,
so if you need it, lemme know.  The sizes:

CLI2> ls -l src:which
----ar-e- 87-11-25 12:45:04   13     6180 which
----ar--- 87-11-25 12:44:46    9     4401 which.c
----ar--- 87-12-07 05:16:01    2      832 which.doc
Dirs:0   Files:3    Blocks:24    Bytes:11413   
CLI2>

It would be trivial to adapt "which" to match the first occurrence of */argv[0]
in the PATH searched by "which".
