Vim autocommand on write - pass full file path

Question

I want to execute a bash script whenever I save a file in Vim. The problem is I don't how can I, or if it's possible to pass the full path to the file, rather than just the file name, or relative path that was opened.

This is the code I'm using, it works, however only relative paths, which is useless to me.

autocmd BufWritePost * !~/.config/nvim/scripts/on_save.sh <afile> 

Is there any way to pass the full file path to the bash script?

I found it:

autocmd BufWritePost * !~/.config/nvim/scripts/on_save.sh %:p  

The %:p does it

You forgot to mention where you found it: :help filename-modifiers. – Unseasonable

Actually I found it on ServerFault or some other QA but thanks for reference – Pizzicato
