The function to show current file's full path in mini buffer

Question

I need to get the full path of the file that I\'m editing with emacs.

• Is there a function for that?
• If not, what would be the elisp function for getti

Answer 1

To borrow from Jérôme Radix's answer, if you just want to quickly see the file path of the current buffer, you can do M-: buffer-file-name.

Alternately, type (buffer-file-name) in the buffer somewhere and run C-x C-e on the closing parenthesis (this will work in any mode, not just lisp-mode).
