But searching the archives (back to 2004), i found [argv] written by Mr 

Jester. It seems it can retrieve patchers'name + arguments. I'll ask for

But searching the archives (back to 2004), i found [argv] written by Mr 
Jester. It seems it can retrieve patchers'name + arguments. I'll ask for 
his sources, maybe it could help.

Ah yes. You could try using the t_box's b_binbuf member for this. It 

t_box *b = fe_has_a_box(); // the box you are using

while (!binbuf_getatom(bb, &typeoff, &stuffoff, &a)) {

Ah yes. You could try using the t_box's b_binbuf member for this. It  
won't work for bpatchers, I don't think.

t_box *b = fe_has_a_box(); // the box you are using
void *bb = b->b_binbuf;
long typeoff = 0;
long stuffoff = 0;
t_atom a;

while (!binbuf_getatom(bb, &typeoff, &stuffoff, &a)) {
	// do something with the data - I guess the 2nd t_atom contains the  
name?
}
