FUNCNAME

To get the name of the current function - type:

my_function()
{
    echo "This function is $FUNCNAME"    # This will output "This function is my_function"
}

This instruction will return nothing if you type it outside the function:

my_function

echo "This function is $FUNCNAME"    # This will output "This function is"
