18.1 `basename': Strip directory and suffix from a file name
============================================================
`basename' removes any leading directory components from NAME.
Synopsis:
basename NAME [SUFFIX]
If SUFFIX is specified and is identical to the end of NAME, it is
removed from NAME as well. `basename' prints the result on standard
output.
The only options are `--help' and `--version'. *Note Common
options::. Options must precede operands.
An exit status of zero indicates success, and a nonzero value
indicates failure.
Examples:
# Output "sort".
basename /usr/bin/sort
# Output "stdio".
basename include/stdio.h .h
