NAME
name - return name of some kinds of structure
SYNOPSIS
name(val)
TYPES
val any
return string or null value
DESCRIPTION
If val is a named block or open file stream, name(val) returns the
name associated with val. Otherwise the null value is returned.
Since the name associated with a file stream is that used when the stream
was opened, different names may refer to the same file, e.g. "foo"
and "./foo".
EXAMPLE
; A = blk("alpha");
; name(A)
"alpha"
; f = fopen("/tmp/beta", "w")
; name(f)
"/tmp/beta"

"(stdin)"
