basename
basename(1B) SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands basename(1B)
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,
and is normally used inside substitution marks (` `) within shell procedures. The suffix is a string with no special significance attached
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:
example% cc $1
example% mv a.out `basename $1 .c`
