dirname string
You can use dirname to delete the filename portion, beginning with the last slash
character (/) to the end of string, and write the result 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 no slash characters remaining in string, a period character is written
to standard output and processing ends.
v If there are trailing non-slash characters in string, they are removed.
v If there are any trailing slash characters in string, they are removed.
v If the remaining string is empty, string is set to a single slash character.
The string operand is the pathname of which dirname will return the directory
portion of.
v 0 on success
v >0 if an error occurs.
