where module is loaded from
#1
i have a module with some code inside that needs to know what exact file path it was loaded from. another file in the same directory will have some data a feature needs to access.

the use will be to take this path and split the directory path and the base file name, join the directory path with a different base file name, open this different file path, open this different file path, read this different file path, and act on the data contents.

how can the code inside this module find the path of the file it was loaded from, or at least its directory path, preferably without knowing the module name in advance. is there a place to get this information?
