       basename - strip filename affixes

SYNOPSIS
       basename string [ suffix ]

DESCRIPTION
       Basename deletes any prefix ending in `/' and the suffix, if present in

       is normally used inside substitution marks ` ` in shell procedures.

       This  shell procedure invoked with the argument /usr/src/cmd/cat.c com‐
       piles the named file and moves the output to cat in the current	direc‐
       tory:

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