| BASENAME(1) | BASENAME(1)
| NAME
| basename – strip file name affixes
SYNOPSIS
| `basename` [ `−d` ] string [ suffix ]
DESCRIPTION
| Basename deletes any prefix ending in slash (`/`) and the suffix, if present in string, from string, and prints the result on the standard output.
The `−d` option instead prints the directory component, that is, string up to but not including the final slash. If the string contains no slash, a period and newline are printed.
