Get path to current emacs script file when loaded with -l parameter

Question

From within a lisp file being loaded and run with emacs -l path/to/script/foo.el can I get the path to file being run?

For example, is there some way to determine what path/to/script is from within foo.el?

I am not very experienced with lisp so please be gentle with your solutions.

The variable load-file-name is bound to the name of the file as it is being loaded. To get the directory, you'd just use file-name-directory, like so:

(file-name-directory load-file-name)
