In scilab the  functions are not linked to a file name because it is 
possible to define a function in a script. Take also care that functions 
are Scilab variables (like matrices)

function n=functionname()
   [linenum,mac]=where()
   n=mac(2)
endfunction


example

function y=foo(x)
disp(functionname())
    y=x+1
endfunction

foo(3) //the calling function is named "foo"
A=foo
A(3) //the calling function is named "A"
