Is there a possibility to get the full path of the currently executing TCL script?
In PHP it would be: __FILE__
A:
seconds after I've posted my question ... lindex $argv 0 is a good starting point ;-)

I think you'll be disappointed with that. You'll get the first argument after the filename. If you do "tclsh foo.tcl one two" argv will be a list like ["one" "two"]

if accessing from a procedure, either define argv0 as global, or fully qualify it as `$::argv0`

Note that the global `argv0` variable is a feature of tclsh and wish (and tclkit too) and not of Tcl in general. It's very common though; the support function `Tcl_Main` implements it for you…

Depending on what you mean by "currently executing TCL script", you might actually seek info script, or possibly even info namefexecutable or something more esoteric.

You can use [file normalize] to get the fully normalized name, too.
file normalize $argv0
file normalize [info nameofexecutable]
