How is snakemake script name accessed?

Is there a way to access the name of the snakefile that is being run with snakemake? It seems to be accessible by parsing sys.argv, but I'm wondering if there is a variable available that includes environmental information like that?

Within a snakefile, you can access the full path of the snakefile being used via workflow.snakefile. The workflow object exposes other invocation information; you can explore the full range of attributes and methods via print(dir(workflow)) (within a snakefile).

If you want just the filename of the Snakefile, you can parse it out with os.path.basename():

import os
print(os.path.basename(workflow.snakefile))
