files. The traditional behaviour, 'basename string .suffix', is preserved, however a suffix may now also be specified via a getopt(3) option, -s, such that if it is specified in that way, all string arguments follow. There is also a new flag, -a, which allows a user to say "yes, please basename(3) on all arguments". Update manual to reflect this unobtrusively. Reviewed by: obrien

.Nm basename , dirname
|
|
.Nd return filename or directory portion of pathname
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Ar string
|
|
.Op Ar suffix
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl a
|
|
.Op Fl s Ar suffix

.Nm dirname
|

.Ar string
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility deletes any prefix ending with the last slash
|
|
.Ql \&/
|
|
character present in
|
|
.Ar string
|
|
(after first stripping trailing slashes),
|
|
and a
|
|
.Ar suffix ,
|
|
if given.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar suffix
|
|
is not stripped if it is identical to the remaining characters in
|
|
.Ar string .
|
|
The resulting filename is written to the standard output.
|
|
A non-existent suffix is ignored.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl a
|
|
is specified, then every argument is treated as a
|
|
.Ar string
|
|
as if
|
|
.Nm
|
|
were invoked with just one argument.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl s
|
|
is specified, then the
|
|
.Ar suffix
|
|
is taken as its argument, and all other arguments are treated as a
|
|
.Ar string .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm dirname
|
|
utility deletes the filename portion, beginning
|
|
with the last slash
|
|
.Ql \&/
|
|
character to the end of
|
|
.Ar string
|
|
(after first stripping trailing slashes),
|
|
and writes the result to the standard output.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The following line sets the shell variable
|
|
.Ev FOO
|
|
to
|
|
.Pa /usr/bin .
|
|
