Retrieve ruby script file name

ruby-talk
1

Hello Group,

Is there any way to retrieve the file name of the script that you are
executing?
For example if you have a ruby script named kitty.rb :

$./kitty.rb
script name is 'kitty.rb'

Thank you,

Note that there is $0 as well. __FILE__ will contain the name of the file which contains the currently executed line of code while $0 will contain the name of the script that the interpreter was started with. When requiring and loading other files __FILE__ and $0 will point to different names.

Kind regards
