@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.
