Even further you can get the current command by using NSStringFromSelector(_cmd); _cmd is the current selector.
You can also use NSLog(@“%s”, _PRETTY_FUNCTION”) which will give you the class name and current selector. Do a google search also for NSLog replacements there are ones that do a lot of work of prepending all NSlog calls with class, function, line number and you custom message.
