How to display all TODO items from a single file

I am still new to org-mode and emacs, so please forgive me for asking such a simple question.



I organise my org-mode files one per area of interest: so I have one for work, one for personal projects, etc. These files contain both notes and TODO entries, so it's really hard to see all the TODO items in the given file...



So here is my question:



Is there an easy way to easy filter all the todo items in agenda view by file they are in?



The only way I can think of right now is by using a special tag per file, but this will require me to update all files and all entries it's quite a lot of work I would prefer to avoid.



Thanks!

          See the Basic TODO functionality section in the manual: C-c / t constructs a "sparse tree" of all TODO items in a single file; C-c a t constructs a global TODO list out of all files that have been added to the agenda.
