NAME
basename - display portions of pathnames
SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/basename string [suffix]
DESCRIPTION
The basename utility deletes any prefix ending in `/' and the suffix, if present in string. It directs the result to the standard output,

to any of the characters it contains.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Using the basename command.
This shell procedure invoked with the argument /usr/src/bin/cat.c compiles the named file and moves the output to cat in the current direc-
tory:
