+<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label filename</title>
+</head><body>
+<h3>What's the name of this file</h3>
+<p>One might want this so as to automatically generate a page header or
+footer recording what file is being processed.  It's not easy...
+<p>TeX retains what it considers the name of the <em>job</em>, only, in
+the primitive <code>\</code><code>jobname</code>; this is the name of the file first
+handed to TeX, stripped of its directory name and of any extension
+(such as <code>.tex</code>).  If no file was passed (i.e., you're using TeX
+interactively), <code>\</code><code>jobname</code> has the value <code>texput</code> (the name that's
+given to <code>.log</code> files in this case).
+<p>This is fine, for the case of a small document, held in a single file;
+most significant documents will be held in a bunch of files, and
+TeX makes no attempt to keep track of files input to the
+<em>job</em>.  So the user has to keep track, himself - the only way
+is to patch the input commands and cause them to retain details of the
+file name.  This is particularly difficult in the case of Plain
+TeX, since the syntax of the <code>\</code><code>input</code> command is so peculiar.
+<p>In the case of LaTeX, the input commands have pretty regular
+syntax, and the simplest
+
+
+<a href="FAQ-patch.html">patching techniques</a> can be used on them:
+<pre>
+  \def\ThisFile{\jobname}
+  \newcounter{FileStack}
+  \let\OrigInput\input
+  \renewcommand{\input}[1]{%
+    \stepcounter{FileStack}
+    \expandafter\let
+      \csname NameStack\theFileStack\endcsname
+      \ThisFile
+    \def\ThisFile{#1}%
+    \OrigInput{#1}%
+    \expandafter\let\expandafter
+      \ThisFile
+      \csname NameStack\theFileStack\endcsname
+    \addtocounter{FileStack}{-1}%
+  }
+</pre>
+(And similarly for <code>\</code><code>include</code>.)  The code assumes you always use
+LaTeX syntax for <code>\</code><code>input</code>, i.e., always use braces around the
+argument.
+<p>The <i>FiNK</i> ("File Name Keeper") package provides a
+regular means of keeping track of the current file name (with its
+extension), in a macro <code>\</code><code>finkfile</code>.  The bundle includes a
+<i>fink.el</i> that provides support under <i>emacs</i> with
+AUC-TeX.
