Yes, that's the nearest approximation. But it does not work if the program is found in the DOS path.

Uh, oh, forgot that option...


... then you have to add a search over all path elements...
... still feasible!

struct AssignList * al = (struct AssignList *)BADDR(cli->cli_CommandDir);
while (al) {
  ... // check progname in al->al_Lock
  al = (struct AssignList *)BADDR((BPTR)al->al_Next); // next looks like a BPTR in the path chain
}
