+* `[out] result`: A URL containing the absolute path of the
+  location from which the add-on was loaded. For a file on the local
+  file system it will start with `file://`. The string is null-terminated and
+  owned by `env` and must thus not be modified or freed.
+
+`result` may be an empty string if the add-on loading process fails to establish
+the add-on's file name during loading.
