Get file info in emacs

Get file info in emacs

[Pedro Costa]

Hi,

I've opened a file in emacs and I've worked on it and saved it. But,
suddenly I forgot in which directory the file is. How can I see the
directory where the opened file is in emacs? I don't want to use the
bash to get this information.

Thanks

C-x C-f in the file buffer will show you the directory in the
minibuffer.

Also, if you use the menu bar, turning on this variable:

buffers-menu-show-directories is a variable defined in `menu-bar.el'.
Its value is t

will shown directory of associated files in the buffer list.

When the buffer of the file in question is the current
buffer, do M-x pwd RET.

All this does is show the local value of the variable
`default-directory'.
