Re: locating a sourced file

How can a sourced file determine its location?

Source files cannot determine anything - they are not executables.

I think the OP mean how can a sourced file (like in shell ./file.sh)
determine it's location. This sounds like home work so I won't answer
this directly but take a look at the variable $0.

If it is homework, it strikes me as being a rather advanced class :^)

Looking at $0 certainly won't help.

I doubt that there is a way, but maybe somebody here is smarter than I am.
