basename and dirname changes the value of argument???
Hi
I faced with some interesting behavior of basename and dirname functions from libgen.h: they changes the value of argument! Here is the declaration:
It makes some tiresome to use them... I am new to C and maybe I do something wrong, but to make these functions work I have to create some temporary variables... Here is the code:
In this example eftmp before basename() call doesn't equal to eftmp after! For me it looks a little bit strange...
If anyone share some experience on using them in more convenient fashion it will be great! Any comments also appreciated

Hi, okay, the following command was given to me in a script, but it's not working and there's little to no help on dirname. What is wrong with the following line? I'm just trying to save the current directory to use later in subsequent scripts.
MYAPPDIR=$(dirname $(dirname $0))
Thanks. (2 Replies)

But of course that doesn't... (4 Replies)
