| schestowitz[TR2] | <blockquote> | Jun 30 09:56 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p>The basename command in Linux is a utility used to extract the base name of a file or directory path, effectively stripping away any leading directory components and optional suffixes. When provided with a full path, basename returns only the file name or the last segment of the path, making it useful in scripting and file manipulation tasks. For example, given the path /home/user/document | Jun 30 09:56 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | .txt, basename would return document.txt. Additionally, users can specify a suffix to be removed, such as .txt, leaving just document. This command simplifies handling file names and paths in scripts, enhancing automation and streamlining various file management processes. </p> | Jun 30 09:56 |
