 @findex dired-copy-filename-as-kill

   The main purpose of this command is so that you can yank the file
 names into arguments for other Emacs commands.  It also displays what
 was pushed onto the kill ring, so you can use it to display the list
 of currently marked files in the echo area.  With a zero prefix
