In the command column of htop, sometimes the full path is displayed, and sometimes it isn't. Why?
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0;
Above is htop running in a terminal emulator. In the command column, some of the processes have their full path, eg. /usr/bin/python3, and some of them have just the command name, eg. caja, xonsh.
Why is there a difference? Is there anything special about these processes?
I suspect, but I'm not sure, that this might be the first element of "args" (unclear what the true name of it is), the program name.

From the man page of htop:
Command
The full command line of the process (i.e. program name and arguments).
So if you run htop you will see the command without the full path. And if you run /usr/bin/htop -C -u$USER you will see the full path with arguments.
