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.
