NAME
basename - strip filename affixes
SYNOPSIS
basename string [ suffix ]
DESCRIPTION
Basename deletes any prefix ending in `/' and the suffix, if present in string, from string, and prints the result on the standard output. It is normally used inside substitution marks ` ` in shell procedures. This shell procedure invoked with the argument /usr/src/cmd/cat.c compiles the named file and moves the output to cat in the current direc- tory: cc $1 mv a.out `basename $1 .c`
