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.
