+# Source Variables
+
+It is possible to access the `name` and `type` of your `source` from
+provisioners and post-processors:
+
+```hcl
+source "null" "first-example" {
+  communicator = "none"
+}
+
+build {
+  name = "roles"
+
+  source "null.first-example" {
+    name = "consul"
+  }
+  source "null.first-example" {
+    name = "nomad"
+  }
+  source "null.first-example" {
+    name = "vault"
+  }
+  sources = ["null.first-example"]
+
+  provisioner "shell-local" {
+    inline = ["echo ${source.name} and ${source.type}"]
+  }
+}
+
+# This will echo something like:
+#
+# roles.null.consul: consul and null
+# roles.null.nomad: nomad and null
+# roles.null.vault: vault and null
+# roles.null.first-example: first-example and null
+```
