=head1 NAME
File::Basename - Parse file paths into directory, filename and suffix.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use File::Basename;
($name,$path,$suffix) = fileparse($fullname,@suffixlist);
$name = fileparse($fullname,@suffixlist);
$basename = basename($fullname,@suffixlist);
$dirname = dirname($fullname);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
These routines allow you to parse file paths into their directory, filename
and suffix.
B<NOTE>: C<dirname()> and C<basename()> emulate the behaviours, and
quirks, of the shell and C functions of the same name. See each
function's documentation for details. If your concern is just parsing
paths it is safer to use L<File::Spec>'s C<splitpath()> and
C<splitdir()> methods.
It is guaranteed that
# Where $path_separator is / for Unix, \ for Windows, etc...
dirname($path) . $path_separator . basename($path);
is equivalent to the original path for all systems but VMS.

my($filename, $directories, $suffix) = fileparse($path);
my($filename, $directories, $suffix) = fileparse($path, @suffixes);
my $filename = fileparse($path, @suffixes);
The C<fileparse()> routine divides a file path into its $directories, $filename
and (optionally) the filename $suffix.
$directories contains everything up to and including the last
directory separator in the $path including the volume (if applicable).
The remainder of the $path is the $filename.
# On Unix returns ("baz", "/foo/bar/", "")
fileparse("/foo/bar/baz");
# On Windows returns ("baz", 'C:\foo\bar\', "")
fileparse('C:\foo\bar\baz');
# On Unix returns ("", "/foo/bar/baz/", "")
fileparse("/foo/bar/baz/");
If @suffixes are given each element is a pattern (either a string or a
C<qr//>) matched against the end of the $filename. The matching
portion is removed and becomes the $suffix.
# On Unix returns ("baz", "/foo/bar/", ".txt")
fileparse("/foo/bar/baz.txt", qr/\.[^.]*/);
If type is non-Unix (see L</fileparse_set_fstype>) then the pattern
matching for suffix removal is performed case-insensitively, since
those systems are not case-sensitive when opening existing files.
You are guaranteed that C<$directories . $filename . $suffix> will
denote the same location as the original $path.

=item C<basename>
X<basename> X<filename>
my $filename = basename($path);
my $filename = basename($path, @suffixes);
This function is provided for compatibility with the Unix shell command
C<basename(1)>. It does B<NOT> always return the file name portion of a
path as you might expect. To be safe, if you want the file name portion of
a path use C<fileparse()>.
C<basename()> returns the last level of a filepath even if the last
level is clearly directory. In effect, it is acting like C<pop()> for
paths. This differs from C<fileparse()>'s behaviour.
# Both return "bar"
basename("/foo/bar");
basename("/foo/bar/");
@suffixes work as in C<fileparse()> except all regex metacharacters are
quoted.
# These two function calls are equivalent.
my $filename = basename("/foo/bar/baz.txt", ".txt");
my $filename = fileparse("/foo/bar/baz.txt", qr/\Q.txt\E/);
Also note that in order to be compatible with the shell command,
C<basename()> does not strip off a suffix if it is identical to the
remaining characters in the filename.

sub basename {
my($path) = shift;
# From BSD basename(1)

# character present in string (after first stripping trailing slashes)

# From BSD basename(1)
# The suffix is not stripped if it is identical to the remaining
# characters in string.

$basename = $suffix;

# Ensure that basename '/' == '/'
if( !length $basename ) {

}
=item C<dirname>
X<dirname>
This function is provided for compatibility with the Unix shell
command C<dirname(1)> and has inherited some of its quirks. In spite of
its name it does B<NOT> always return the directory name as you might
expect. To be safe, if you want the directory name of a path use
C<fileparse()>.
Only on VMS (where there is no ambiguity between the file and directory
portions of a path) and AmigaOS (possibly due to an implementation quirk in
this module) does C<dirname()> work like C<fileparse($path)>, returning just the
$directories.
# On VMS and AmigaOS
my $directories = dirname($path);
When using Unix or MSDOS syntax this emulates the C<dirname(1)> shell function
which is subtly different from how C<fileparse()> works. It returns all but
the last level of a file path even if the last level is clearly a directory.
In effect, it is not returning the directory portion but simply the path one
level up acting like C<chop()> for file paths.
Also unlike C<fileparse()>, C<dirname()> does not include a trailing slash on
its returned path.
# returns /foo/bar. fileparse() would return /foo/bar/
dirname("/foo/bar/baz");
# also returns /foo/bar despite the fact that baz is clearly a
# directory. fileparse() would return /foo/bar/baz/
dirname("/foo/bar/baz/");
# returns '.'. fileparse() would return 'foo/'
dirname("foo/");
Under VMS, if there is no directory information in the $path, then the
current default device and directory is used.

Normally File::Basename will assume a file path type native to your current
operating system (ie. /foo/bar style on Unix, \foo\bar on Windows, etc...).
With this function you can override that assumption.
Valid $types are "MacOS", "VMS", "AmigaOS", "OS2", "RISCOS",
"MSWin32", "DOS" (also "MSDOS" for backwards bug compatibility),
"Epoc" and "Unix" (all case-insensitive). If an unrecognized $type is
given "Unix" will be assumed.
If you've selected VMS syntax, and the file specification you pass to
one of these routines contains a "/", they assume you are using Unix
emulation and apply the Unix syntax rules instead, for that function
call only.
