+CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_FILE
+-----------------------
+
+Full path to the listfile currently being processed.
+
+As CMake processes the listfiles in your project this variable will
+always be set to the one currently being processed. The value has
+dynamic scope. When CMake starts processing commands in a source file
+it sets this variable to the location of the file. When CMake
+finishes processing commands from the file it restores the previous
+value. Therefore the value of the variable inside a macro or function
+is the file invoking the bottom-most entry on the call stack, not the
+file containing the macro or function definition.
+
+See also :variable:`CMAKE_PARENT_LIST_FILE`.
