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/bin/cat.c
       compiles the named file and moves the output  to	 cat  in  the  current
       directory:

		      cc $1
		      mv a.out `basename $1 .c`
