Perhaps not exactly what you're asking for as it's more granular than the
file level, but I've often found this verb useful (thanks, Dan!):
whereDefined=: 3 : '(4!:4{.;:y) {:: (4!:3''''),<''Source of definition
not found for '',''.'',~y'
It returns the path of the file in which a J object was defined. For
example:
whereDefined 'boxopen_z_'
c:\Program Files (x86)\j64-701\system\main\stdlib.ijs
With this caveat
myfoo=: 'Defined only locally'
whereDefined 'myfoo'
Source of definition not found for myfoo.
