# 5.3. Printing `Node` File Names

One of the most common things you can do with a Node is use it to print the file name that the node represents. For example, the following `SConstruct` file:

          hello_c = File('hello.c')
          Program(hello_c)

          classes = Dir('classes')
          Java(classes, 'src')

          object_list = Object('hello.c')
          program_list = Program(object_list)
          print "The object file is:", object_list[0]
          print "The program file is:", program_list[0]

Would print the following file names on a POSIX system:

          % scons -Q
          The object file is: hello.o
          The program file is: hello
          cc -o hello.o -c hello.c
          cc -o hello hello.o

And the following file names on a Windows system:

          C:\>scons -Q
          The object file is: hello.obj
          The program file is: hello.exe
          cl /nologo /c hello.c /Fohello.obj
          link /nologo /OUT:hello.exe hello.obj
