DESCRIPTION
Basename removes the initial directory names (if any) yielding the name of the file itself. If a second argument is present, it is inter- preted as a suffix and is also stripped, if present. Dirname removes the final component of a path, yielding the directory a file is in. These programs are primarily used in shell scripts. BASENAME(1)
