:mrdocs:

Load the system specific process name for the currently running process into the specified `*result`. Return 0 on success, and a non‐zero value otherwise. The language in which `*result` is provided is unspecified; `*result` will be encoded as UTF‐8, but might not be normalized. On failure, `*result` will be unmodified. Note that the primary purpose of this method is to provide an identifier for the current process, and `*result` may not be a valid path to the executable; to access the actual task file for the process use `getPathToExecutable` below.
