If you didn’t specify a path, it should be in your current working directory:

```julia
julia> pwd()
"/home/nils"

```

Similar useful functions are [methods](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/base/base/#Base.methods) and [which](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/base/base/#Base.which-Tuple%7BAny,Any%7D).

```julia
julia> methods(now)
# 2 methods for generic function "now":
[1] now() in Dates at /opt/julia/v1.5.2/share/julia/stdlib/v1.5/Dates/src/conversions.jl:66
[2] now(::Type{UTC}) in Dates at /opt/julia/v1.5.2/share/julia/stdlib/v1.5/Dates/src/conversions.jl:84
