Synopsis
Description
basename string [suffix]
You can use basename to delete any prefix ending with the last slash (/) character
present in string, and a suffix, if specified. The resulting filename is written to
standard output. The string is processed using the following rules:
v If string consists entirely of slash characters, a single slash character is written to
standard output and processing ends.
v If there are any trailing slash characters in string, they are removed.
v If there are any slash characters remaining in string, the prefix of string up to and
including the last slash character is removed.
v If a suffix is specified, and is not identical to the characters remaining in string,
and is identical to a suffix of the characters remaining in string, the suffix is
removed. Otherwise string is not modified. It is not an error if suffix is not found
in string.
