Documentation
getApplicationName :: IO (Maybe String)Source
Gets a human-readable name for the application, as set by
setApplicationName. This name should be localized if possible, and is
intended for display to the user. Contrast with getProgramName, which
gets a non-localized name. If setApplicationName has not been performed,
returns the result of getProgramName (which may be Nothing if
setProgramName has also not been performed).
setApplicationName :: String -> IO ()Source
Sets a human-readable name for the application. This name should be
localized if possible, and is intended for display to the user. Contrast
with setProgramName, which sets a non-localized name. setProgramName
will be performed automatically by initGUI, but setApplicationName
will not.
Note that for thread safety reasons, this computation can only be performed once.
The application name will be used in contexts such as error messages, or when displaying an application's name in the task list.
getProgramName :: IO (Maybe String)Source
Gets the name of the program. This name should not be localized, contrast
with getApplicationName. If you are using GDK or GTK+, the program name
is set in initGUI to the last component of argv[0].
setProgramName :: String -> IO ()Source
Sets the name of the program. This name should not be localized, contrast
with setApplicationName. Note that for thread-safety reasons this
computation can only be performed once.
