Function that returns a string value for the current cell view

Is there a function similar to geGetEditCellView() that will return the string value of the current cell view, as opposed to its database ID number?

For example, I have a layout view open called "MyLayout". If I use dbFullPath(), it will give me the full path to "...MyLibrary/MyLayout/layout/layout.cdb", but I only want the string "MyLayout" returned.

Sorry if this seems remedial. I am having no luck finding such a function....

Thanks Andrew,
that was close enough for me to figure it out:
geGetEditCellView()->cellName
returns the file name.
geGetEditCellView()->viewName
returns the string "layout"
most appreciated.

Sorry, I misread your question. BTW, it's not the "file" name. It's the cell name. They are not necessarily the same thing... (if there are unusual characters in the cell name)
