I am trying to find the lisp function that will give me a filename,
and path, from a buffer name. Does anyone know what that function is?
Thanks.

,----[ C-h f buffer-file-name RET ]
| buffer-file-name is a built-in function in `C source code'.
| (buffer-file-name &optional BUFFER)
|
| Return name of file BUFFER is visiting, or nil if none.
| No argument or nil as argument means use the current buffer.

buffer-file-name
Get in the habit of using `M-x apropos'.
In this case apropos buffer file and/or name.
