<span id="file"></span><span id="index-file"></span>
<p>Use the <code>@file</code> command to indicate text that is the name of a
file, buffer, or directory, or is the name of a node in Info. You can
also use the command for file name suffixes. Do not use <code>@file</code>
for symbols in a programming language; use <code>@code</code>.
</p>
<p><code>@file</code> is equivalent to <code>code</code> in its effects. For
example,
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">The @file{.el} files are in
the @file{/usr/local/emacs/lisp} directory.
</pre></div>
<p>produces
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The <samp>.el</samp> files are in
the <samp>/usr/local/emacs/lisp</samp> directory.
</p></blockquote>
