Well, you can call all function with: M-: (fun args...) RET
like:

M-: (buffer-file-name) RET

So it's hardly worth it.
If you want to bind it to a key:

(global-set-key (kbd "<f5>") (lambda ()
                                (interactive)
                                (buffer-file-name)))

If you really want a command:

(defun command-buffer-file-name ()
    (interactive)
    (buffer-file-name))

and:

M-x command-buffer-file-name RET

or:

(global-set-key (kbd "<f5>") 'command-buffer-file-name)

and:

<f5>


If the function takes arguments read the doc of interactive and add
them to the command.

Pour moi, la grande question n'a jamais été: «Qui suis-je? Où vais-je?» 
comme l'a formulé si adroitement notre ami Pascal, mais plutôt:
