With standard LaTeX you are able to check for the class in use
invoking the kernel command \@ifclassloaded.
However, doing so you can't get the explicit class name
(unless you want to loop over every possible class name
until \@ifclassloaded returns true -- don't do that!)
With the present package you can get the name with significantly less effort.
Just load the package as usual:
\usepackage{fetchcls}
Then, the control sequence \classname will hold the name of the current class.
This is version 1.0 of the package.
