    function my_function ()
    {
    _vvar=`whence -v $0 | cut --delimiter=' ' --fields=7-`
    _ooutput=`ls -g --time-style=+%F/%T $_full | cut --delimiter=' '
    --fields=5-`
    echo -e "Function: $0 \nFile: $_ooutput"
    }

Clever thing reports the absolute path of files too:


    $ my_function
    Function: my_function
