$ ln -s setarch foo $ ./foo --version foo from util-linux 2.25.634-8501-dirty But util-linux does not contain any program called "foo": $ man foo No manual entry for foo Shouldn't --version report the name of the original program instead of the name of the binary? Just like the last line of the --help output does: $ ./foo --help | tail -1 For more details see setarch(8).
