### 9.1.8 `@file`{file-name}

Use the `@file` 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 `@file` for symbols in a programming language; use `@code`.

Currently, `@file` is equivalent to `@samp` in its effects. For example,

    The @file{.el} files are in
    the @file{/usr/local/emacs/lisp} directory.

produces

> The ‘`.el`’ files are in the ‘`/usr/local/emacs/lisp`’ directory.
