This is a utility, which allows a function to figure out from which file it was invoked. It does so by inspecting v8's stack trace at the time it is invoked.
|
|
|

Inspired by http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13227489

|
|
|
*note: this relies on Node/V8 specific APIs, as such other runtimes may not work*

|

```bash
|
