Rails - May 2006 - Built-in var. action_name for controllers?

All,

In the Recipes for Rails Authentication recipe, there is a variable 
named action_name that''s used to represent the current action.

Where does this come from?

Is there a similar variable for the current controller?

Thanks,
Wes
