The application_name function returns the name of the application which is currently running, for instance Arbortext Editor, Arbortext Architect, Arbortext Publishing Engine Interactive or Arbortext Editor with Arbortext Styler. Your custom application might use this function to compare its result with a set of possible values.

If the optional untranslated parameter is present and not zero, the name is returned in English. If no parameter is given or if untranslated is specified as zero, this function returns the value of the built-in variable $main::progname. This value could be a translated version of the name (such as Arbortext Editor con Arbortext Styler for the es Spanish locale).
